Carl Sagan

The universe is so incredibly incredibly gigantic, unimaginably so. So
huge that some parts that we see now in the sky came into existence
and burned away millions of years ago. And there could be who knows
what happening out there right now that we won't know about for
another couple million years, and by then the earth would've smashed
into the sun, and the sun long burnt out. We are hurtling on a speck
of dust and it's the single greatest miracle that we are even alive
right now, with the ability to look up and have even an inkling of an
idea of what's going on out there for the brief period we will have
here.
