Carl Sagan Quotes Click here for Carl Sagan books "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere."

He is not the climax of creation.” "The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.” "Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.” "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.” "The well-meaning contention that all ideas have equal merit seems to me little different from the disastrous contention that no ideas have any merit.” "The wind whips through the canyons of the American

generations of thinking men and women who preceded us, about whom we know almost
nothing, upon whom our civilization is based.”
