"Two thirds of the stars and planets, and life, in the universe are billions of years older than we are.
But a billion years ago the highest form of life on the Earth was a worm.
Three billion years ago the highest form of life on the Earth were bacteria.
So we must ask ourselves,
We who are so proud of our accomplishments, what is our place in the cosmic perspective of life,
if most of those beings out there, if they are there, stand in relationship to us as we do to the worms?
It only suggests that human kinds greatest experiences still lie ahead of us."
