“Lazima kuna mtu, si kitu, mwenye akili ya kupindukia, aliyeanzisha kila kitu kinachoonekana ulimwenguni. Mwaka 1995 wanasayansi waligundua kitu kilichowashtua kuliko kitu kingine chochote kile katika historia ya uwepo wao. Waligundua kuwa ulimwengu unaongeza mwendo wa kupanuka katika pande zote nne za ulimwengu – kwa mwendokasi wa maili milioni mbili kwa saa! Nini kinasababisha ulimwengu uongeze mwendo kiasi hicho badala ya kuupunguza? Ni nini hicho ambacho ulimwengu unapanukia? Mpaka sayansi ijibu maswali hayo na mengineyo mengi, kama vile kitendawili cha ‘standard model’ na chembe ya ‘boson’ inayofanya kila kitu ulimwenguni kuwa na uzito, nitaendelea kuamini kuna Mtu anayesababisha yote hayo kutokea.”

“We think that history is created in the big things, in the big events, but history is also created in the small things that we do every day, in the personal choices we make— to think or not to think, to hold our tongues or to speak up, to act or not to act. Our actions have a ripple effect on those around us. Every time we conform or don't, we're shaping the world into our vision or someone else's vision. The universe isn't made up of atoms it's made up of stories, and these stories are shaped in college campuses and coffee houses around the country, not just in boardrooms and government buildings.”
