| Look again at 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. | |
