We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.
Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.
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.
