"The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together."
"And you are made of a hundred trillion cells. We are, each of us, a multitude."
"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

"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."
