Truth Quote by Carl Sagan — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God,' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.”

“Many of the dangers we face indeed arise from science and technology—but, more fundamentally, because we have become powerful without becoming commensurately wise. The world-altering powers that technology has delivered into our hands now require a degree of consideration and foresight that has never before been asked of us.”

“For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.”

“The many sorrows of our recent history suggest that we humans have a learning disability.”

“The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together.”

“If we are merely matter intricately assembled, is this really demeaning? If there's nothing here but atoms, does that make us less or does that make matter more?”

“You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.”

“A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.”

“Why should I struggle through hundreds of pages of fabrication to reach half a dozen very little truths?'”

“I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them”

“But people didn't have to pay as much attention to the awful truth. As the living legend of the cruel tyrant in the city and the gentle holy man in the jungle grew, so, too, did the happiness of the people grow. They were all employed full time as actors in a play they understood, that any human being anywhere could understand and applaud.”

“Trust me Dani. You don’t want’a miss this. I’m not exaggeratin’ when I say the journey of a lifetime, of a hundred lifetimes, is just below us!”
