More From Carl Sagan

I never said it. honest. oh, i said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. it's hard to talk about the cosmos without using big numbers. i said "billion" many times on the cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. but i never said "billions and billions." for one thing, it's too imprecise. how many billions are "billions and billions"? a few billion? twenty billion? a hundred billion? "billions and billions" is pretty vague. when we reconfigured and updated the series, i checked-and sure enough, i never said it.

Notable enough, however, are the controversies over the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... whose sum was given by leibniz as 1/2, although others disagree. ... understanding of this question is to be sought in the word "sum"; this idea, if thus conceived - namely, the sum of a series is said to be that quantity to which it is brought closer as more terms of the series are taken - has relevance only for convergent series, and we should in general give up the idea of sum for divergent series.

I think i am doing my works to link myself, my family, with society — with the cosmos. to link me with my family to the cosmos, that is easy, because all literature has some mystic tendency. so when we write about our family, we can link ourselves to the cosmos.
Writing Thinking Cosmos
People hired by government know who is their benefactor. people who lose their jobs or fail to get them because of the government program do not know that that is the source of their problem. the good effects are visible. the bad effects are invisible. the good effects generate votes. the bad effects generate discontent, which is as likely to be directed at private business as at the government.

Each individual is a cosmos of organs, each organ is a cosmos of cells, each cell is a cosmos of infinitely small ones; and in this complex world, the well-being of the whole depends entirely on the sum of well-being enjoyed by each of the least microscopic particles of organized matter. a whole revolution is thus produced in the philosophy of life.

I'm really visually stimulated more than anything. i don't really listen to music. i'm more into watching telly or watching movies and visual art.

Very little comes easily to our poor, benighted species (the first creature, after all, to experiment with the novel evolutionary inventions of self-conscious philosophy and art). even the most "obvious," "accurate," and "natural" style of thinking or drawing must be regulated by history and won by struggle. solutions must therefore arise within a social context and record the complex interactions of mind and environment that define the possibility of human improvement.

I'm a republican and i'm gonna stay a republican because they need somebody like me to stay in the party and keep hammering away.

In terms of getting people to experiment more and take more risk, there are at least three things that immediately come to my mind. number one, of course, is role-modeling it yourself. number two is when people take intelligent, smart risks and yet it doesn't work out, not shooting them. and number three, being honest with yourself. if the culture you have is radically different from an experiment and take-risk culture, then you have a big change you going to have to make—and no little gimmicks are going to do it for you.

Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.
