28 Quotes by Yuri Gagarin

I see Earth! It is so beautiful.

An astronaut cannot be suspended in space and not have God in his mind and his heart.

I looked and looked but I didn't see God.[Speaking about, in 1961, becoming the first human to enter space.]

I could have gone on flying through space forever.

To be the first to enter the cosmos, to engage, single-handed, in an unprecedented duel with nature-could one dream of anything more?

The earth was blue but there was no god.
