Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.
Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.
We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.
The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space.
The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home.
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be.
Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.
The time was fast approaching when Earth, like all mothers, must say farewell to her children.
My descendants are going to surf light-waves in space.
The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.
I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.
When you make the finding yourself - even if you're the last person on Earth to see the light - you'll never forget it.
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
Youre capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible nightmares.
To be the first to enter the cosmos, to engage, single-handed, in an unprecedented duel with nature—could one dream of anything more.
The time will come when man will know even what is going on in the other planets and perhaps be able to visit them.
There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.

I wish the quotes had sources...

About 70% are Carl Sagan, bit of an idol of mine, the rest are ones I have saved in a notepad from things collected. Sorry I could do more

Nice. Sauce ?

Always upvote Carl Sagan

"The universe is vast but Hillary Clinton still needs to go to jail for life otherwise we do not have equal justice under the law"

Was this just a game ad..?
thesauceisboss
I can’t tell if this is a “Science fiction illustration pics” dump with words so there are no ads or a words dump with pics so no ⬇️ votes?

How is this not on the FP already?
Rekitt
Ha thanks dude!
Mechame
Every one of these was worth pausing and thinking about. The art was an added bonus that complimented the thoughts. Excellent post, thanks.

Yes, we're made of star-stuff. But we are also made of ostrich poop.
ProxyPlayerHD
It's true that we're made of star stuff, but so is garbage.
BabyFarkMcGeeZax
Some of these quotes sound like something Rod Serling would say.
adaquo

Love Sagan's little soliloquy on planet earth.

Beeple is a wild man! Thanks for shouting him out!

Is the first one supposed to be Carpentet Brut related?

Beeple is the shit

This puts things in perspective. Much like Kurzgesagt does on its youtube channel, in a scientifical/pedagogical way. Such existential dread

I'd like it a lot better if I could find SOME GODDAMN ANTIMATTER OR THE BLUEPRINT!

The main story line gives that to you in the first ten hours. Only needs chromatic metal and condensed carbon to make. Also the housing.
Arbitrarynamehere
Gotta push through the main questline to get blueprints.
MetaSomma
Well, there's two of you at least.
GraphicsInterchangeFormat
It’s a lot better now. Basically at the level we thought it would be at release.
KZFDG
Still full of bugs, but definitely closer to the aim for it than it was.
MetaSomma
I heard it's improved, I'm still gonna need a lot more convincing that I can trust my money in that developer though.
KZFDG
I'm the most resistant person re:shit companies, and I got it for my and my friend. Wooshing about space shenanigans. Is ok.
MetaSomma
Hmm maybe I'll see about a demo or something
KamSolastor
So years after, when they’re getting ready to move on and drop it, they’re barely at what they promised for original release? Grats, I guess
MetaSomma
That's my concern. Why fund them if this is their standard of work?
