Blue Planet Quotes

• De repente, desde detrás del borde de la luna, en largos momentos de inmensa majestuosidad a cámara lenta, emerge una brillante joya azul y blanca, una ligera y delicada esfera azul celeste entrelazada con velos blancos que se arremolinan lentamente, elevándose poco a poco como una pequeña perla en un espeso mar de misterio negro. Se tarda más de un momento en darse cuenta de que esto es la Tierra... el hogar. Mi visión de nuestro planeta fue un atisbo de divinidad.

• Para cada uno de nosotros, por tanto, el reto y la oportunidad consisten en apreciar toda la vida como el don que es, concebirla en su totalidad, tratar de conocerla verdaderamente y comprometernos -con nuestras mentes, corazones y manos- a restaurar su abundancia. Se dice que donde hay vida hay esperanza, por lo que ningún lugar puede inspirarnos más esperanza que ese gran mar creador de vida, ese océano singular y maravilloso que cubre el planeta azul.

• Lejos, en los remansos inexplorados del extremo pasado de moda del brazo espiral occidental de la Galaxia, se encuentra un pequeño sol amarillo sin vigilancia. Orbitando a una distancia de unos noventa y dos millones de millas se encuentra un pequeño planeta verde azulado totalmente insignificante, cuyas formas de vida descendientes de simios son tan asombrosamente primitivas que todavía piensan que los relojes digitales son una idea bastante bonita.

• If it happens that the human race doesn't make it, then the fact that we were here once will not be altered, that once upon a time we peopled this astonishing blue planet, and wondered intelligently at everything about it and the other things who lived here with us on it, and that we celebrated the beauty of it in music and art, architecture, literature, and dance, and that there were times when we approached something godlike in our abilities and aspirations. We emerged out of depthless mystery, and back into mystery we returned,and in the end the mystery is all there is.

• What a splendid perspective contact with a profoundly different civilization might provide! In a cosmic setting vast and old beyond ordinary human understanding we are a little lonely, and we ponder the ultimate significance, if any, of our tiny but exquisite blue planet, the Earth.... In the deepest sense the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a search for ourselves.

  Carl Sagan
