We are a way for the cosmos to know itself

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.

We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun.
