“The idea that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.”

“A grain of sand is a magnificent world.”

“Science is a way to call the bluff of those who would try to trivialize us.”

“If you are in love, you are in a privileged state.”

“For me, the romance of science is not in the certainty of the answer, but in the burning, restless curiosity that drives the question.”

“We long to be part of something larger than ourselves. We are.”

“We are, every one of us, a multitude. Within us is a little universe.”

“The very act of trying to look at the universe, to comprehend it, is a profoundly spiritual experience.”

“It's a sacred responsibility to be a storyteller in the cosmos.”

“Think of the stunning emptiness of the cosmos. We are so lucky to have each other.”

“Every time I have a feeling or a thought, I know that it's a piece of matter and energy that is inside of me.”

“We are the architects of our own character.”
