Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy
tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
~ Carl Sagan
One of the things that was kind of shocking for humans... was to come to terms with was the fact that, hey, we may not be the center of the universe.

be that our brains are somehow so suited to the universe that our brains will be able to understand the deepest workings?

Deepak Chopra
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.

Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to
consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.

Marcus Aurelius
