"Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people"

- Carl Sagan

About this Quote

This quote by Carl Sagan is a tip of how small and insignificant we remain in the grand plan of deep space. It is a humbling thought that our planet is just one of many, and our star is simply among many more. We are a small speck in a vast and ever-expanding universe, and our galaxy is just a small part of that. We are so small that our galaxy is hidden in some forgotten corner of the universe, and there are far more galaxies than individuals. This quote works as a suggestion of how unimportant we are in the grand scheme of things, and just how much more there is to explore and discover. It is a reminder to value the charm of deep space and to always remember how small we are in contrast.
