Carl Sagan on inspiration

For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.

Robert Louis Stevenson1850–1894

Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.

Pablo Picasso1881–1973

My eyes make pictures, when they are shut.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge1772–1834“A Day-Dream”, l. 1 (1828)
