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
But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, ever king and
peasant, every young couple in love, every moth and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
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.
