Carl Sagan
“I have only one regret,” he had said in his gravelly voice. “My daughter married a Bulgarian.”
Carl Sagan, Contact

Neil Gaiman
“It’s about what people think is. It’s all imaginary anyway. That’s why it’s important. People only fight over imaginary things.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

Carl Sagan
“It’s hard to kill a creature once it lets you see its consciousness”
Carl Sagan, Contact

Carl Sagan
“You get to thinking of the Earth as an organism, a living thing. You get to worry about it, care for it, wish it well. National boundaries are as invisible as meridians of longitude, or the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The boundaries are arbitrary. The planet is real. Spaceflight, therefore, is subversive. If they are fortunate enough to find themselves in Earth orbit, most people, after a little meditation, have similar thoughts. The nations that had instituted spaceflight had done so largely for nationalistic reasons; it was a small irony that almost everyone who entered space received a startling glimpse of a transnational perspective, of the Earth as one world.”
Carl Sagan, Contact

Carl Sagan
“So, I think the bureaucratic religions try to institutionalize your perception of the numinous instead of providing the means so you can perceive the numinous directly—like looking through a six-inch telescope. If sensing the numinous is at the heart of religion, who’s more religious would you say—the people who follow the bureaucratic religions or the people who teach themselves science?”
Carl Sagan, Contact
