I watched the spinning stars, grateful, sad and proud, as only a man who has outlived his destiny and realizes he might yet forge himself another, can be.

About This Quote

The universe, which we call the universe, is a great and mighty thing. This universe of ours is a very small part of a very great universe. Our universe, of which we are a part, is a spinning ball of gas and dust in an infinite universe of stars and planets. We see only a tiny fraction of the universe from our vantage point on Earth.

Our universe seems too small for greatness. But who can measure greatness by its breadth? In our place, on our planet, on our planet alone, amid the insignificance of human life—what can we say? What does it matter? And yet, if one’s soul has been awakened to the wonder of things, a man can be grateful to be alive in a universe that gives him the possibility of watching the spinning stars and feeling sad and proud at the same time.
