Quote by Carl Sagan (1934-1996)

• Just 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.

• It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.

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

• Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

• All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.

• If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.
