The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those
generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
(Carl Sagan)
We live in a society absolutely dependent on science and technology and yet have cleverly arranged things so that almost
no one understands science and technology. That's a clear prescription for disaster.
(Carl Sagan)
