We are the product of 4.5 billion years of fortuitous, slow biological evolution. There is no reason to think that the evolutionary process has stopped. Man is a transitional animal. He is not the climax of creation.

When we look up at night and view the stars, everything we see is shinning because of distant nuclear fusion.

You are worth about 3 dollars worth in chemicals.

Not all bits have equal value.

The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore, we've learned most of what we know. Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.

We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands.

We are the universe experiencing itself.
