Creative Quotations from Carl Sagan ( ) born Nov 9 US astronomer; He provided insight in the origin of life on earth and the universe; wrote Contact.

Books tap the wisdom of our species -- the greatest minds, the best teachers - from all over the world and from all our history.

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

If you wish to make an apple pie truly from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

If intelligence is our only edge, we must learn to use it better, to shape it, to understand its limitations and deficiencies…

We live at a moment when our relationships to each other, and to all other beings with whom we share this planet, are up for grabs.
