“We succumb at the end and are resorbed by the cosmos, itself a great and dying corpse. It's a noble fate and should be faced with nobility.”
“We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”
“A noble heart should not belie its thoughts; it wants to reveal itself even to its inmost depths. There everything is good, at least everything is human.”
“Presumably there is indeed no purpose in the ultimate fate of the cosmos, but do any of us really tie our life's hopes to the ultimate fate of the cosmos anyway? Of course we don't; not if we are sane. Our lives are ruled by all sorts of closer, warmer, human ambitions and perceptions.”
“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
“We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.”
