Is it not careless to become too local when there are four hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone. A. R. Ammons
Whenever I saw the sun, I reminded myself that I was looking at a. One of over a hundred billion in our galaxy. A galaxy that was just one of billions of other galaxies in the observable universe. This helped me keep things in perspective. Ernest Klein
