Carl Sagan
“In the vastness of space and the immensity of time, it is my joy to share a planet and an epoch with Annie.

[Dedication to Sagan's wife, Ann Druyan, in Cosmos]”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“The pale stars were sliding into their places. The whispering of the leaves was almost hushed. All about them it was still and shadowy and sweet. It was that wonderful moment when, for lack of a visible horizon, the not yet darkened world seems infinitely greater—a moment when anything can happen, anything be believed in.”
Olivia Howard Dunbar, The Shell of Sense

Carl Sagan
“Every aspect of Nature reveals a deep mystery and touches our sense of wonder and awe. Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries.”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Mahmoud Darwish
“كما ينبت العشب بين مفاصل صخرة

وجدنا غريبين يوما

و كانت سماء الربيع تؤلف نجما ... و نجما

و كنت أؤلف فقرة حب..

لعينيك.. غنيتها!

أتعلم عيناك أني انتظرت طويلا

كما انتظر الصيف طائر

و نمت.. كنوم المهاجر

فعين تنام لتصحو عين.. طويلا

و تبكي على أختها ،

حبيبان نحن، إلى أن ينام القمر

و نعلم أن العناق، و أن القبل

طعام ليالي الغزل

و أن الصباح ينادي خطاي لكي تستمرّ

على الدرب يوما جديداً !

صديقان نحن، فسيري بقربي كفا بكف

معا نصنع الخبر و الأغنيات

لماذا نسائل هذا الطريق .. لأي مصير

يسير بنا ؟

و من أين لملم أقدامنا ؟

فحسبي، و حسبك أنا نسير...

معا، للأبد

لماذا نفتش عن أغنيات البكاء

بديوان شعر قديم ؟

و نسأل يا حبنا ! هل تدوم ؟

أحبك حب القوافل واحة عشب و ماء

و حب الفقير الرغيف !

كما ينبت العشب بين مفاصل صخرة

وجدنا غريبين يوما

و نبقى رفيقين دوما”
محمود درويش, أوراق الزيتون

Carl Sagan
“If we long for our planet to be important, there is something we can do about it. We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos
