"Recognise that the very molecules that make up your body - the atoms that construct the molecules, are tracable to the crucibles that were once in the centres of high mass stars, that exploded their chemically enriched guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chenistry of life. So that we're all connected, to the each other - biologically, to the Earth - chemically, and to the universe - atomically. That's kind of cool. That makes me smile, and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It's not that we are better than the universe, we are a part of the universe. We are in the universe, and the universe is in us."
Neil deGrasse Tyson
