Carl Sagan Quotes

We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers Picture Quote #1

I consider it an extremely dangerous doctrine, because the more likely we are to assume that the solution comes from the outside, the less likely we are to solve our problems ourselves Picture Quote #1

The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge; it has no in the endeavor of science. We do not know in advance who will discover fundamental insights Picture Quote #1

The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five Picture Quote #1

We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good Picture Quote #1

People are not stupid. They believe things for reasons. The last way for skeptics to get the attention of bright, curious, intelligent people is to belittle or condescend or to show arrogance toward their beliefs Picture Quote #1

In exchange for freedom of inquiry, scientists are obliged to explain their work Picture Quote #1

Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves Picture Quote #1

If we can’t think for ourselves, if we’re unwilling to question authority, then we’re just putty in the hands of those in power Picture Quote #1

A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed. We are one planet Picture Quote #1

Books are like seeds. They can lie dormant for centuries and then flower in the most unpromising soil Picture Quote #1

Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars Picture Quote #1

If I finish a book a week, I will read only a few thousand books in my lifetime, about a tenth of a percent of the contents of the greatest libraries of our time. The trick is to know which books to read Picture Quote #1

Science cuts two ways, of course; its products can be used for both good and evil. But there’s no turning back from science. The early warnings about technological dangers also come from science Picture Quote #1

Anything else you’re interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water. Don’t sit this one out. Do something. You are by accident of fate alive at an absolutely critical moment in the history of our planet Picture Quote #1

The politicians and the religious leaders and the weapons scientists have been at it for a long time and they’ve made a thorough mess of it. I mean, we’re in deep trouble Picture Quote #1

I don’t know the answer. Maybe no one knows. Maybe when you grow up, you’ll be the first to find out Picture Quote #1

History is full of people who out of fear, or ignorance, or lust for power has destroyed knowledge of immeasurable value which truly belongs to us all. We must not let it happen again Picture Quote #1

Absolute certainty will always elude us. We will always be mired in error. The most each generation can hope for is to reduce the error Picture Quote #1

I believe our future depends powerfully on how well we understand this cosmos in which we float, like a mote of dust in the morning sky Picture Quote #1

Religions are tough. Either they make no contentions which are subject to disproof or they quickly redesign doctrine after disproof... near the core of the religious experience is something remarkably resistant to rational inquiry Picture Quote #1

There are in fact 100 billion galaxies, each of which contain something like a 100 billion stars. Think of how many stars, and planets, and kinds of life there may be in this vast and awesome universe Picture Quote #1

How smart does a chimp have to be before killing him constitutes murder? Picture Quote #1

The old appeals to racial, sexual and religious chauvinism to rabid nationalist fervor, are beginning not to work Picture Quote #1

The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood Picture Quote #1
