If your ego starts out, 'I am important, I am big, I am special', you're in for some disappointments when you look around at what we've discovered about the universe. No, you're not big.

We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.
Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit.
In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.
