In 1974, I first met Carl. I was 25 years old. I am 51 now (Ann Druyan Quotes)
If you have a beating heart, that’s good enough (Ann Druyan Quotes)
I’ve been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I’ve been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science. (Ann Druyan Quotes)
This planet seems to be in such sorry shape. And I can’t ever think about the rest of the universe without coming back home and thinking what the implications for life here would be if we were to really have some definitive proof of extraterrestrial life. (Ann Druyan Quotes)
As a species, we tend to lie quite a bit - to ourselves and to each other. It’s a primate thing. So, a reason to go into a career in science and technology, or to learn more about these subjects, is to become a more powerful person (Ann Druyan Quotes)
The aspirations of democracy are based on the notion of an informed citizenry, capable of making wise decisions. The choices we are asked to make become increasingly complex. They require the longer-term thinking and greater tolerance for ambiguity that science fosters. The new economy is predicated on a continuous pipeline of scientific and technological innovation. It can not exist without workers and consumers who are mathematically and scientifically literate (Ann Druyan Quotes)
My knowledge of science came from being with Carl, not from formal academic training. Carl gave me a thrilling tutorial in science and math that lasted the 20 years we were together (Ann Druyan Quotes)
The greatest thing that science teaches you is the law of unintended consequences (Ann Druyan Quotes)
Carl took on the military-industrial complex. He campaigned around the world for an end to the production of weapons of mass destruction. To him it was a perversion of science (Ann Druyan Quotes)
We batter this planet as if we had someplace else to go (Ann Druyan Quotes)
Carl did not want to believe. He wanted to know (Ann Druyan Quotes)
Ten long trips around the sun since I last saw that smile, but only joy and thankfulness that on a tiny world in the vastness, for a couple of moments in the immensity of time, we were one (Ann Druyan Quotes)
All of science to me, everything that we have learned, is important to the extent that it brings us to our senses (Ann Druyan Quotes)
For most of the history of our species we were helpless to understand how nature works. We took every storm, drought, illness and comet personally. We created myths and spirits in an attempt to explain the patterns of nature (Ann Druyan Quotes)
I guess I so desperately want to see us put this planet right. It’s so horrifying to me that a fifth of us are starving every night, and that forty thousand children die every single day (Ann Druyan Quotes)
People think that if you are a scientist you have to give up that joy of discovery, that passion, that sense of the great romance of life. I say thats completely opposite of the truth (Ann Druyan Quotes)
This planet seems to be in such sorry shape. And I can’t ever think about the rest of the universe without coming back home and thinking what the implications for life here would be if we were to really have some definitive proof of extraterrestrial life (Ann Druyan Quotes)
And what greater might do we possess as human beings than our capacity to question and to learn? (Ann Druyan Quotes)
If you are searching for sacred knowledge and not just a palliative for your fears, then you will train yourself to be a good skeptic (Ann Druyan Quotes)
No single step in the persuit of enlightenment should ever be considered sacred; only the search was (Ann Druyan Quotes)
Science reserves the highest reward for those of you who disprove our most cherished beliefs. At any moment someone from any walk of life could come forward and be responsible for a complete revision of our view of everything (Ann Druyan Quotes)
Knowing a deep thing well, which is what science asks of its practitioners, is an empowerment that is very profound. It’s a liberation (Ann Druyan Quotes)
We may be living at that moment, on the cusp, when we go from being a species that feels a kind of loneliness in the cosmos to actually one sometime in the not too distant future being able to confirm the existence of other intelligent life (Ann Druyan Quotes)
I found that it was easiest to convey the information in the context of the life of the scientist or in the context of our own personal experience, and there was no idea that was too complicated that couldn’t be explained clearly and directly (Ann Druyan Quotes)
It is a great tragedy that science, this wonderful process for finding out what is true, has ceded the spiritual uplift of its central revelations: the vastness of the universe, the immensity of time, the relatedness of all life, and life’s preciousness on our tiny planet (Ann Druyan Quotes)
I don’t have any faith, but I have a lot of hope, and I have a lot of dreams of what we could do with our intelligence if we had the will and the leadership and the understanding of how we could take all of our intelligence and our resources and create a world for our kids that is hopeful (Ann Druyan Quotes)
I’ve been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I’ve been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science (Ann Druyan Quotes)
The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday (Ann Druyan Quotes)
It takes a fearless, unflinching love and deep humility to accept the universe as it is. The most effective way he knew to accomplish that, the most powerful tool at his disposal, was the scientific method, which over time winnows out deception. It can’t give you absolute truth because science is a permanent revolution, always subject to revision, but it can give you successive approximations of reality (Ann Druyan Quotes)
