The vastness of the universe-and love, the thing that makes the vastness bearable-is out of reach to the arrogant. - Ann Druyan

When we fell in love, it was like discovering a new world. It was one that I had hoped was possible but had never been to before.

It is a great tragedy that science, this wonderful process for finding out what is true, has ceded the spiritual uplift of its central revelations: the vastness of the universe, the immensity of time, the relatedness of all life, and life’s preciousness on our tiny planet.

we really believe that science is a birthright that belongs to every one of us. And the degree to which we're excluded from science is the degree to which we are powerless. We can't be informed decision-makers.
