The quote challenge.

[Rusvul]

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves." -Carl Sagan

"To my adopted son, Steven"--
"I'm adopted?!?"
--"I bequeath my personal library, on the condition that he read out loud the book of my choosing. I choose Steven's personal journal. Begin on page one hundred and twenty."

"Page one hundred and twenty. Age thirteen...
My body is beginning to change...
I really wish that I could kiss a girl...
I have a crush on my cousin Sophie--Who I'm apparently not related to anymore! I, ahem, have a call to make."
-Studio C, Last Will and Testament.

"Cold be hand and heart and bone,
and cold be sleep under stone:
never more to wake on stony bed,
never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
In the black wind the stars shall die,
and on still gold here let them lie,
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land."

-The barrow wight, from The fellowship of the ring
