“A new #consciousness is developing which sees the #earth as a single #organism and recognizes that an organism at #war with itself is #doomed . We are one #planet . One of the great #revelations of the age of #space exploration is the image of the earth finite and lonely, somehow vulnerable, bearing the entire #human species through the oceans of space and time.” “National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatical ethnic or religious or national chauvinisms are a little difficult to maintain when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars.” “Our loyalties are to the #species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that , ancient and vast, from which we spring.” ― #CarlSagan
