More From Carl Sagan

We seem, these days, much more willing to recognize the perils before us than we were even a decade ago. the newly recognized dangers threaten all of us, equally. no one can say how it will turn out down here. but this is also, we may note, the first time that a species has become able to journey to the planets and the stars. sailors on a becalmed sea, we sense a stirring of the breeze.
Stars Journey Sea
If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds. sailors on a becalmed sea, we sense the stirring of a breeze.
Responsibility Sea Other Worlds
We could say the government spend like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors, because the sailors are spending their own money.

The sea of galilee and the dead sea are made of the same water. it flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of herman and the roots of the cedars of lebanon. the sea of galilee makes beauty of it, the sea of galilee has an outlet. it gets to give. it gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the jordan plain. but the dead sea with the same water makes horror. for the dead sea has no outlet. it gets to keep.

I have heard what poets write about women. they rhyme and rhapsodize and lie. i have watched sailors on the shore stare mutely at the slow-rolling swell of the sea. i have watched old soldiers with hearts like leather grow teary-eyed at their king's colors stretched against the wind. listen to me: these men know nothing of love. you will not find it in the words of poets or the longing eyes of sailors. if you want to know of love, look to a trouper's hands as he makes his music. a trouper knows.
Kings Lying Love You
A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. our beloved is the same. he is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. if you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. yet many people do just that. they rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be himself. they live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them fulfill that. that is not loving; it is destroying.
Love Summer Flower

Human love, human trust, are always perilous, because they break down. the greater the love, the greater the trust, and the greater the peril, the greater the disaster. because to place absolute trust on another human being is in itself a disaster, both ways, since each human being is a ship that must sail its own course, even if it go in company with another ship.... and yet, love is the greatest thing between human beings.
Love Is Way Ships
Part of my reason for being vegetarian was because it practices respect and love for life all through the day, so three times a day, you make a decision to eat things that have not been killed.
