"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere." ― Carl Sagan Topic(s): Imagination More From Carl Sagan "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." "We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces." "Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge." More In Imagination "Everyone told me to pass on Speed because it was a ‘bus movie.’"― Sandra Bullock "I am better able to imagine hell than heaven; it is my inheritance, I suppose."― Elinor Wylie "Even the highest forms of sacrificial worship present much that is repulsive to modern ideas, and in particular it requires an effort to reconcile our imagination to the bloody ritual which is prominent in almost every religion which has a strong sense of sin."― William Robertson Smith
