Hi

No one speaks more eloquently of the deep spiritual basis to science than Carl Sagan. Carl died of Myelodysplasia, Aka "preleukemia" on December the 20th 1996, which was a sad day for all who got to know and love him.

"We are all made of star stuff"

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

"Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works."

"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge."

"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology."

"We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces."

All quotes from Carl Sagan (November 9, 1934 – December 20, 1996)
