More quotes by Carl Sagan
Human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group.
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
As the ancient myth makers knew, we are children equally of the earth and the sky.
For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.
