"Our story is the story of the universe. Every piece of everyone—of everyone you love, everyone you hate, of the thing you hold most precious—was assembled by the forces of nature in the first few minutes of the life of the universe, transformed in the hearts of stars or created in their fiery deaths. And when you die, those pieces will be returned to the universe in the endless cycle of death and rebirth. What a wonderful thing it is to be a part of that universe. And what a story, what a majestic story."
