Citas de Ann Druyan

• I don't have any faith, but I have a lot of hope, and I have a lot of dreams of what we could do with our intelligence if we had the will and the leadership and the understanding of how we could take all of our intelligence and our resources and create a world for our kids that is hopeful.

• It takes a fearless, unflinching love and deep humility to accept the universe as it is. The most effective way he knew to accomplish that, the most powerful tool at his disposal, was the scientific method, which over time winnows out deception. It can't give you absolute truth because science is a permanent revolution, always subject to revision, but it can give you successive approximations of reality.

• Es una gran tragedia que la ciencia, este maravilloso proceso para descubrir lo que es verdad, haya cedido la elevación espiritual de sus revelaciones centrales: la vastedad del universo, la inmensidad del tiempo, la relación de toda la vida y la preciosidad de la vida en nuestro diminuto planeta.

• Durante la mayor parte de la historia de nuestra especie fuimos incapaces de comprender cómo funciona la naturaleza. Nos tomábamos cada tormenta, sequía, enfermedad y cometa como algo personal. Creamos mitos y espíritus para intentar explicar los patrones de la naturaleza.

• Carl Sagan always used to say that when he was trying to explain something to someone, he would go back to that time when he didn't understand it, and then he would retrace his thought steps so that he could make it absolutely clear, and that's one of the infinite number of things I learned from him.

• I remember that one time Carl Sagan was giving a talk, and he spelled out, in a kind of withering succession, these great theories of demotion that science has dealt us, all of the ways in which science is telling us we are not who we would like to believe we are. At the end of it, a young man came up to him and he said: "What do you give us in return? Now that you've taken everything from us? What meaning is left, if everything that I've been taught since I was a child turns out to be untrue?" Carl looked at him and said, Do something meaningful.

• We are living in a society that is totally dependent on science and high technology, and yet most of us are effectively alienated and excluded from its workings, from the values of science, the methods of science, and the language of science. A good place to start would be for as many of us as possible to begin to understand the decision-making and the basis for those decisions, and to act independently and not be manipulated into thinking one thing or another, but to learn how to think. That's what science does.

• Contrary to the fantasies of the fundamentalists, there was no deathbed conversion, no last minute refuge taken in a comforting vision of a heaven or an afterlife. For Carl, what mattered most was what was true, not merely what would make us feel better. Even at this moment when anyone would be forgiven for turning away from the reality of our situation, Carl was unflinching. As we looked deeply into each other's eyes, it was with a shared conviction that our wondrous life together was ending forever.

• Las aspiraciones de la democracia se basan en la noción de una ciudadanía informada, capaz de tomar decisiones acertadas. Las decisiones que se nos piden son cada vez más complejas. Requieren el pensamiento a largo plazo y una mayor tolerancia a la ambigüedad que fomenta la ciencia. La nueva economía se basa en un flujo continuo de innovación científica y tecnológica. No puede existir sin trabajadores y consumidores con conocimientos matemáticos y científicos.

• Creo que somos una especie guiada por historias y que entendemos cómo se unen las cosas, en el contexto de la narrativa. Es una pena que la ciencia no se enseñe así desde hace mucho tiempo. Suele ser el hecho completamente desprovisto de cualquier experiencia humana o de cualquier idea de cómo el científico llegó a esa conclusión.
