[Lawtan]

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.”
~The Alchemist

...there was a better quote, about matter, time, the Sun, Wind, and World...and one that essentially made the pursuit of science a sort of spiritual journey across generations. But I can't find it at this time.
