" "This planet is run by crazy people. Remember what they have to do to get where they are. Their perspective is so narrow, so...brief. A few years. In the best of them a few decades. They care only about the time they are in power.
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.

Nükleer rehineler olan bizler -yeryüzündeki tüm halklar- nükleer ve klasik savaş konularında kendimizi eğitmeliyiz. Ardından da hükümetlerimizi eğitmeliyiz. Hayatta kalmamız için akla yakın gereçleri sağlayacak bilimi ve teknolojiyi geliştirmeliyiz. Alışılmış kalıpların dikte ettiği sosyal, politik, ekonomik ve dinsel fikirlere cesaretle karşı koyma isteğini edinmeliyiz. Dünyanın her bölgesindeki insan kardeşlerimizin insan olduklarını anlamak için elimizden gelen her çabayı harcamalıyız. Kuşkusuz bu tür çaba çok zordur.

There is the deep and appealing notion that the universe is but the dream of the god who, after a hundred Brahma years, dissolves himself into a dreamless sleep. The universe dissolves with him — until, after another Brahma century, he stirs, recomposes himself and begins again to dream the great cosmic dream. Meanwhile, elsewhere, there are an infinite number of other universes, each with its own god dreaming the cosmic dream. These great ideas are tempered by another, perhaps still greater. It is said that men may not be the dreams of the gods, but rather that the gods are the dreams of men.
