They will gaze up and strain To find the blue dot in their skies. They will love it no less For its obscurity and fragility. They will marvel at how vulnerable The repository of all our potential once was, How perilous our infancy, How humble our beginnings, How many rivers we had to cross Before we found our way.

From: — Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
