Take another look at this point. It's here. This is our house. This is us. Everyone you love, everyone you know, everything you ever heard of, every person who ever existed lived his life on it. All our joys and sufferings, thousands of self-confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and gatherer, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and every father, every budding one a child, every inventor and traveler, every spiritual teacher, every venal politician, every “superstar”, every “supreme leader”, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived here - on this speck of dust hanging in the sunshine of light
Karl Sagan (1934-1996)
