Carl Sagan

"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere."

"Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people."

"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
