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.

    Посмотрите на ту точку еще раз. Вот она. Это дом. Это мы. На этой точке живут все, кого ты любишь, всех, кого ты знаешь, всех, о ком ты когда-либо слышал, каждый человек, когда-либо живший на этой планете. Агрегат нашей радости и страдания, тысячи уверенных религий, идеологий и экономических доктрин, каждый охотник и собиратель, каждый герой и трус, каждый создатель и разрушитель цивилизации, каждый король и крестьянин, каждая молодая пара, влюбленная, каждая мать и отец, надеющийся ребенок, изобретатель и исследователь, каждый учитель морали, каждый коррумпированный политик, каждая "звезда", каждый "всемогущий лидер", каждый святой и грешник в истории нашего вида жили там - на пылинке, зависшей в солнечном луче.
