Quote by Carl Sagan

The Apollo pictures of the whole Earth conveyed to multitudes something well known to astronomers: On the scale of the worlds - to say nothing of stars or galaxies - humans are inconsequential, a thin film of life on an obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal

The Apollo pictures of the whole Earth conveyed to multitude

Summary

This quote reflects on the humbling perspective provided by the images of Earth taken during the Apollo missions. It acknowledges that in the grand scheme of the universe, humans hold little significance. Compared to the vastness of planets, stars, and galaxies, we are merely a thin layer of life existing on a small, isolated celestial body made of mostly rocky and metallic materials. The quote implies that these pictures served as a reminder of our insignificance in the cosmic tapestry and the humbling nature of our existence.

The history of human conduct does not warrant that exalted opinion of human virtue which would make it wise in a nation to commit interests of so delicate and momentous a kind as those which concern its intercourse with the rest of the world to the sole disposal of a magistrate, created and circumstanced, as would be a President of the United States.
