Carl Sagan - Who Speaks for Earth

The old appeals to racial, sexual, and religious chauvinism, and to rabid nationalist fervor are beginning not to work. 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.

(Las viejas apelaciones al chovinismo racial, sexual y religioso y el rabioso fervor nacionalista empiezan a no funcionar. Se está desarrollando una nueva conciencia que ve la Tierra como un simple organismo y reconoce que un organismo en guerra consigo mismo está condenado. Somos un planeta.)
