Cryptoquote Solved – 07/23/22

“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.“   —   Carl Sagan

(The country – and the entire world –  seems to be sorely lacking in love these days.  So much rancor and divisiveness everywhere you look.  Countries cracking down on basic liberties.  Corporations punishing those who dare to unionize.  The rich getting richer, as the wealth gap continues to increase.  Don’t expect any help from Joe – The Schmo – Manchin.  The only thing that matters to him is getting re-elected in his grimy little state.  To Hell with the rest of the country! seems to be his message.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.”   —   Carl Sagan

(We do take ourselves just a bit too seriously.  Our lives are over in a relative flash.  Lighten up, and enjoy it.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  I really miss this guy!  Hard to believe he’s been gone nearly 17 years already.   —   YUR

“The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses.”   — Carl Sagan

(I guess this quote has to be put into it’s original context to be considered amusing.  Because, as a stand alone quotation, he definitely seems to be overstating the obvious.  It’s really a shame that he died so relatively young.  Only 62!  The man was uber-brilliant!  You should read his views on God.  And, Yes.  He came up with these views on his own!  No, he did not come to me for them.)   — YUR 😉
