by Carl Sagan
“For small creatures such as we the vastness is only bearable through love.”
A great read from a great man. My only complaint is that the book becomes a challenge to read at times, but this is because Sagan wanted to make sure that everyone he addressed knew what he was talking about.
However it is poignant and indicative of the times in which it was written. Sagan wrote this during the Cold War when the US and Russia held the world in a terrible stalemate. Sagan’s arguments for working together for the betterment of humanity and overcoming differences will the way we proceed and it shows when things fail due to differences of beliefs and nationalistic divides.
