Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. Every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there, on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

Traducao (Portugues)

Olhe de novo para esse ponto. É aqui. É nosso lar. Somos nós. Nele, todos que você ama, todos que você conhece, todos de quem já ouviu falar, cada ser humano que já existiu, viveu suas vidas. Cada santo e pecador na história da nossa espécie viveu ali, em um grão de poeira suspenso em um raio de sol. A Terra é um palco muito pequeno em uma vasta arena cósmica. Talvez não haja melhor demonstração da tolice da vaidade humana do que esta imagem distante do nosso pequeno mundo. Ressalta nossa responsabilidade de sermos mais gentis uns com os outros, e de preservar e valorizar o pálido ponto azul, o único lar que já conhecemos.
