" "El tamaño y la edad del Cosmos superan la comprensión normal del hombre. Nuestro diminuto hogar planetario está perdido en algún punto entre la inmensidad y la eternidad. En una perspectiva cósmica la mayoría de las preocupaciones humanas parecen insignificantes, incluso frívolas. Sin embargo nuestra especie es joven, curiosa y valiente, y promete mucho. En los últimos milenios hemos hecho los descubrimientos más asombrosos e inesperados sobre el Cosmos y el lugar que ocupamos en él; seguir el hilo de estas exploraciones es realmente estimulante. Nos recuerdan que los hombres han evolucionado para admirarse de las cosas, que comprender es una alegría, que el conocimiento es requisito esencial para la supervivencia. Creo que nuestro futuro depende del grado de comprensión que tengamos del Cosmos en el cual flotamos como una mota de polvo en el cielo de la mañana.
About Carl Sagan
Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator. His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the hypothesis, accepted since, that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to, and calculated using, the greenhouse effect. He testified to the US Congress in 1985 that the greenhouse effect will change the earth's climate system.

Additional quotes by Carl Sagan
Or look at the status of women, about which finally the planet is coming to its senses in our own time. Or even things like smallpox and other disfiguring and fatal diseases, diseases of children, that were once thought to be an inevitable, God-given part of life. The clergy argued, and some still do, that those diseases were sent by God as a scourge for mankind. Now there are no more cases of smallpox on the planet. For a few tens of millions of dollars and the efforts of physicians from a hundred countries, coordinated by the World Health Organization, smallpox has been removed from the planet Earth.
Или: „Децата, които гледат насилие по телевизията, са по-склонни към насилие, когато пораснат.“ Но дали телевизията причинява насилието, или децата със склонност към насилие просто обичат да гледат подобни програми? Много е вероятно и двете твърдения да са верни. Комерсиалните защитници на телевизионното насилие твърдят, че всеки може да направи разлика между телевизия и действителност. Но понастоящем детските програми в събота сутрин излъчват средно по 25 акта на насилие на час. Това най-малкото прави децата по-малко чувствителни към агресията и проявите на безсмислена жестокост. И ако на податливите на внушение възрастни могат да бъдат имплантирани фалшиви спомени, какво имплантираме в децата си, при положение че ги излагаме на около 100 000 акта на насилие още преди да са завършили началното училище?
