Now who's going to verify if this is truly a Carl Sagan quote

or if it's another one of those brilliantly quotable bits of wisdom written by some unknown OP

When I was little girl our family had some Carl Sagan books. My older brother enjoyed reading them. I remember Cosmos. A huge full color photo book of astronomical wonders.
