I'm adding this to my list of favorite quotes. It's about Carl Sagan's speech about a pale blue dot.

It is a good quotation, explaining how tiny and insignificant the Earth is in comparison to just our solar system, let alone the universe, and how anyone who attaches any importance for us on the grand scale of things is just fooling themselves.

There is no "grand plan" for the inhabitants of that "mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
