About This Quote

The key then to attaining this higher level of intelligence is to make our years of study qualitatively rich. We don't simply absorb information - we internalize it and make it our own by finding some way to put this knowledge to practical use. This quote come from an essay by Carl Sagan, who was a famous science-fiction writer and astrophysicist. Carl Sagan was not only a talented writer but also an accomplished scientist, earning his Ph.D in astronomy from the University of Chicago in 1959.

Carl Sagan believed in the power of knowledge, especially when it is turned into something useful for society. He believed that people should be able to use their knowledge and experience as a tool for bettering ourselves and the world around us.
