Carl Sagan: "Saya pergi ke pustakawan dan meminta buku tentang bintang...

"Saya pergi ke pustakawan dan meminta buku tentang bintang .... Dan jawabannya sangat mencengangkan. Matahari adalah bintang tetapi sangat dekat. Bintang-bintang adalah matahari, tetapi begitu jauh mereka hanyalah titik-titik kecil cahaya .... Skala alam semesta tiba-tiba terbuka bagiku. Itu semacam pengalaman religius. Ada keagungan itu, keagungan, skala yang tidak pernah meninggalkan saya. Tidak pernah meninggalkanku."

I went to the librarian and asked for a book about stars.... And the answer was stunning. It was that the Sun was a star but really close. The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little points of light.... The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me.
