Bertolt Brecht
“Who built Thebes of the seven gates?
In the books you will find the name of kings.
Did the kings haul up the lumps of rock?
And Babylon, many times demolished.
Who raised it up so many times? In what houses
Of gold-glittering Lima did the builders live?
Where, the evening that the Wall of China was finished
Did the masons go? Great Rome
Is full of triumphal arches. Who erected them? Over whom
Did the Caesars triumph? Had Byzantium, much praised in song,
Only palaces for its inhabitants? Even in fabled Atlantis
The night the ocean engulfed it
The drowning still bawled for their slaves.”
Bertolt Brecht

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry
