Carl Sagan Discovery Quotations

We are made of stellar ash. Our origin and evolution have been tied to distant cosmic events. The exploration of the cosmos is a voyage of self-discovery.

I believe that in every person is a kind of circuit which resonates to intellectual discovery-and the idea is to make that resonance work

The prediction I can make with the highest confidence is that the most amazing discoveries will be the ones we are not today wise enough to foresee.

In a lot of scientists, the ratio of wonder to skepticism declines in time. That may be connected with the fact that in some fields-mathematics, physics, some others-the great discoveries are almost entirely made by youngsters.

We have entered, almost without noticing, an age of exploration and discovery unparalleled since the Renaissance.
