" "Kao što stari mitovi govore, mi smo jednako djeca neba i Zemlje. Kroz vrijeme svog boravka na ovom planetu sakupili smo opasno evolucijsko breme, naslijeđene sklonosti prema agresiji i ritualu, podčinjavanje vođama, mržnju prema strancima, što sve sada dovodi u pitanje naše preživljavanje. Ali stekli smo suosjećanje za druge, ljubav prema djeci i djeci naše djece, želju da učimo iz povijesti i uzvišenu strastvenu inteligenciju – očito oružje našeg preživljavanja i napretka. Koji će oblici naše prirode prevladati nesigurno je, posebno ako su naši pogledi, razumijevanje i vidici vezani isključivo za Zemlju – ili, još gore, za jedan mali dio nje. Ali tamo gore u beskraju svemira očekuje nas neizbježna budućnost. Za sada nema još nikakvih sigurnih signala izvanzemaljske inteligencije i stoga se pitamo da li civilizacije poput naše uvijek srljaju neumoljivo, nepromišljeno, prema samouništenju. Nacionalne granice su nezamjetljive kada Zemlju gledamo iz prostora. Fanatični etnički, religijski, nacionalni šovinizmi teško se mogu održati kada promatramo naš planet kao nježan plavi polumjesec kako se gasi poput sve slabije točke svjetlosti usred zvjezdanog tkanja. Putovanja proširuju vidike.

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
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York.. a city neighborhood that included houses, lampposts, walls, and bushes. But with an early bedtime in the winter, I could look out my window and see the stars, and the stars were not like anything else in my neighborhood. [At age 5] I didn’t know what they were. [At age 9] my mother … said to me, “You have a library card now, and you know how to read. Take the streetcar to the library and get a book on stars.” … I stepped up to the big librarian and asked for a book on stars. … I sat down and found out the answer, which was something really stunning. I found out that the stars are glowing balls of gas. I also found out that the Sun is a star but really close and that the stars are all suns except really far away I didn’t know any physics or mathematics at that time, but I could imagine how far you’d have to move the Sun away from us till it was only as bright as a star. It was in that library, reading that book, that the scale of the universe opened up to me. There was something beautiful about it. At that young age, I already knew that I’d be very happy if I could devote my life to finding out more about the stars and the planets that go around them. And it’s been my great good fortune to do just that.
