“We are made out of stardust. The iron in the hemoglobin molecules in the blood in your right hand came from a star that blew up 8 billion years ago. The iron in your left hand came from another star. We are the laws of chemistry and physics as they have played out here on Earth and we are now learning that planets are as common as stars. Most stars, as it turns out now, will have planets.” YearsMadeHandsEarthLawTurnsLeftStarsCommonBloodPlanetsYears AgoPhysicsBillionsIronChemistryMoleculesStardustLeft Hand Author:Jill Tarter
“Born, the Man assumes the name and image of humanity, and becomes in all things like unto other men who dwell upon the earth. Their hard lot becomes his, and his, in turn, becomes the lot of all who shall come after him. Drawn on inexorably by time, it is not given him to see the next rung on which his faltering foot shall fall. Bounded in knowledge, it is not given him to foretell what each succeeding hour, what each succeeding minute, shall have in store for him. In blind nescience, in an agony of foreboding, in a whirl of hopes and fears, he completes the cycle of an iron destiny.” MenHardEarthHumanityTurnsFallNextNamesGivenBornHoursDestinyFeetMinutesHe ManSucceedAll ThingsBlindAssumingStoresIronCyclesAgonyHopes And FearsForebodingFaltering Author:Leonid Andreyev
