Episode 178 - Intro Quote #4: Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot

Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history.  Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears.  They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations.  

This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them.  To whom were they said or written?  What was their intended effect and on whom?  What was the originator thinking?  Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!
