![]() ![]() The following quotes jumped out to me as I read through the book. ![]() This explanation from his Cosmos series about Googol, a Googolplex, and infinity is something I honestly still think about all the time all these years later. I read the book version of Cosmos several years ago and found it to be equally awe-inspiring and cosmically humbling as the TV version.īefore getting to the quotes, here is one more video I would recommend, if only to get a sense of his voice, because it is so much more fun to read the below in his voice and cadence. To see what I mean, just check out his famous thoughts about our Pale Blue Dot. He is also able to successfully pull off a level of earnestness and poetic language that feels missing or discouraged in today’s discourse. ![]() Sagan has a way of communicating the wonder of the universe and history of science in an erudite, yet down to earth way. There was a before, and an after, where the after was marked by a much more intense desire to understand the world around me. This series was a clear demarcation line in my life when I watched it a little over a decade ago. That is the brilliant first line from Carl Sagan’s 1980 TV series, Cosmos, as well as the first line of his book of the same name. ![]() "The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be." ![]()
