To Catch a Phrase...


I don't get it...

Sagan could turn a phrase better than anyone. Need proof? Watch Cosmos. He had an economy of speech, no doubt honed by years of classroom lecture, that communicated, and endeared, and endures... and simply made you want more.

And yet there isn't a single memorable quote in the entirety of Contact... except for one.

'Seems like an awful waste of space.'

...awful ...waste ...of space.

Isn't life just like a box of chocolates?
