Also, it is using – unfairly and illegally – the artwork of an unacknowledged, uncredited photographer! This was taken by Thomas Zimmer on Sylt Island, Germany in Nov 2010, entitled "My God, It's Full of Stars" .

The full quote, NOT from Sagan but Sandburg, is “I am idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.“
—Carl Sandburg, Incidentals (1907)
