    "Why buy a book when you can join a library?" -Ricky Gervais

    "Some [people] are really smart. You know who you are. Some [people] are really thick. Unfortunately, you don't know who you are." -Ricky Gervais

    "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." -Carl Sagan

    "The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be." -Carl Sagan

    "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." -Carl Sagan

    "A tiny blue dot set in a sunbeam. Here it is. That's where we live. That's home. We humans are one species and this is our world. It is our responsibility to cherish it. Of all the worlds in our solar system, the only one so far as we know, graced by life." -Carl Sagan

    "Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." -Carl Sagan

    "Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves." -Carl Sagan

    "People don't understand the collective unlikelihood of our existence." -Emily Graslie

    "I'm just an accident of science; a freak of nature; a figurative cell of a leaf on a branch of a tree on a planet in a universe far bigger than myself, that just happened to grow a cell on one leaf on one branch on one tree on one planet in the universe that is me." -Me

    Be happy folks, because you almost never had a chance to be.
  • Do not overrate what you have
    received, nor envy others. He who
    envies others does not obtain peace
    of mind.
    Buddha

    'Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage' - George Bernard Shaw

    'Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just' - Thomas Jefferson
