Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. Carl Sagan
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. Carl Sagan
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. Carl Sagan
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. Carl Sagan
There is a wide, yawning black infinity. In every direction, the extension is endless; the sensation of depth is overwhelming. And the darkness is immortal. Where light exists, it is pure, blazing, fierce; but light exists almost nowhere, and the blackness itself is also pure and blazing and fierce. Carl Sagan
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Carl Sagan
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. Carl Sagan
In our obscurity – in all this vastness – there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. Carl Sagan
Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception. Carl Sagan
The brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous. Carl Sagan
No other planet in the solar system is a suitable home for human beings; it’s this world or nothing. That’s a very powerful perception. Carl Sagan

Charlie Brown should have punched her in the throat while she was looking up like that. He wasted that opportunity
