— Carl Sagan (46:37)“Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. A library connects us with the insights and knowledge of the greatest minds and the best teachers drawn from the whole planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contributions to the collective knowledge of the human species.”
— Carl Sagan (38:04)“There’s a natural tendency to understand the origin of the cosmos in familiar biological terms. The mating of cosmic deities or the hatching of a cosmic egg or maybe the intonation of some magic phrase.
The Big Bang is our modern scientific creation myth. It comes from the same human need to solve the cosmological riddle.
