Carl Sagan Quotes

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue.

I think the idea that life ends when we physically die is as painful as the idea in Cromwell's time that there's some awful purgatory, and you have to give money to the Catholic church to get your loved ones out.
