I released a previous episode about Carl Sagan and his affinity for books.  In today's episode of Quotations, I explore his famous quote from his book The Pale Blue Dot.  The famous photo of Earth taken by Voyager 1 from 3.7 billion miles away shows us clearly just how small we really are in the grand scheme of things.  It's a smallness worth remembering when the world seems to large.

Episode 178 - Intro Quote #4: Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot

Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history.  Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears.  They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations.  

This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them.  To whom were they said or written?  What was their intended effect and on whom?  What was the originator thinking?  Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!
