I read a quote a long time ago, but did not know the origin. I want to use it in a paper I am writing, so I tried researching to find out who is the source of the quote. The quote is "We are the universe trying to understand itself." and I believe it was Carl Sagan who said/wrote it. Would it be appropriate to credit him in my paper, even though I cannot find the exact source and am not 100% sure he said it?
