[...] For all our conceits about being the center of the universe, we live in
a routine planet of a humdrum star stuck away in an obscure corner [...] on an
unexceptional galaxy which is one of about 100 billion galaxies. [...] That is
the fundamental fact of the universe we inhabit, and it is very good for us to
understand that.
-- Carl Sagan
