" "Nietzsche mourns the loss of “man’s belief in his dignity, his uniqueness, his irreplace-ability in the scheme of existence.” For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

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
Не смятам, че науката се преподава трудно, защото хората не са готови за нея, защото се е появила случайно или защото хората като общо не са достатъчно интелигентни, за да се справят с нея. Напротив — огромната жажда за наука, която виждам в първокласниците, и полученият от оцелелите ловци и събиратели урок са достатъчно красноречиви. Дълбоко в нас — независимо от времето, мястото и културата — е заложена склонност към науката. Тя е средството, благодарение на което сме оцелели. Тя е наше рождено право. Когато със своето безразличие, невнимание, некомпетентност и страх от скептицизма откъсваме децата от науката, ние всъщност ги лишаваме от техните права. Отнемаме им сечивата, от които ще се нуждаят, за да изградят своето бъдеще.
