The Perspective Of The Cosmos
The nitrogen in our DNA,
the calcium in our teeth,
the iron in our blood,
the carbon in our apple pies was made in the interiors of collapsing stars.
We are made of star stuff.
Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious.
If a human disagrees with you, let him live.
In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.
People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be.
When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner."
I don't try to control a sunset.
I watch with awe as it unfolds.
