An epic quote of the legendary astronomer Carl Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan

The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home.

Our little planet floats like a mote of dust in the morning sky. All that you see, all that we can see, exploded out of stars billions of years ago, and the particles slowly arranged themselves into living things, including all of us. We are made of star stuff. We are the mechanism by which the universe can comprehend itself. The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth. We should remain grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.

Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another. Every single moment that you are alive and you are together is miraculous. You found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.

In the vastness of space and the immensity of time, it is a joy to share a planet and an epoch together as partners.
