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
She began to understand why lovers talk baby talk to one another. There was no other socially acceptable circumstance in which the children inside her were permitted to come out. If the one-year-old, the five-year-old, the twelve-year-old, and the twenty-year-old all find compatible personalities in the beloved, there is a real chance to keep all of these sub-personas happy. Love ends their long loneliness. Perhaps the depth of love can be calibrated by the number of different selves that are actively involved in a given relationship.
I’m told that Sherlock Holmes never said, “Elementary, my dear Watson” (at least in the Arthur Conan Doyle books) Jimmy Cagney never said, “You dirty rat”; and Humphrey Bogart never said, “Play it again, Sam.” But they might as well have, because these apocrypha have firmly insinuated themselves into popular culture.
— Ти търсиш Откровението в аритметиката. Аз знам по-добър път. — Палмър, това е единственият път. Това е единственото, което би могло да убеди някой скептик. Представи си, че намерим нещо. Не е необходимо да е изключително сложно. Просто нещо малко по-подредено от онова, което може да се получи случайно при голямо количество цифри. Това е всичко, което търсим. Тогава математиците по целия свят ще могат да намерят абсолютно същия шаблон или послание, или каквото там се окаже. Няма да има повече сектантски разделения. Всеки ще започне да чете едно и също Писание. Тогава никой няма да твърди, че ключовото чудо в религията е трик на някой мошеник или че по-късните историци са фалшифицирали свидетелствата, или че е просто истерия, лудост или заместител на родителя, когато пораснем. Всеки човек ще стане вярващ.
