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 all the Carl Sagan books. My older brother enjoyed reading them. We had Cosmos.

So ironically, the subtext of your first post is “i could, but won’t” just like everybody else!
