And something from Neil Degrasse Tyson about people being starstuff.

I think you mean Carl Sagan?

"The cosmos is also within us, we're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

Although Tyson did say: "We are all connected; to each other, biologically, to the earth, chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically"

[Minty]

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.

Lord Byron

The first five lines are quoted in the intro to the film "Into the Wild", (an amazing film).

''what's silly about the war on drugs, the war on drugs must be a war against a certain group of people doing it in the wrong way with too many guns. ....because i like to sit and look at the pharmacy and what's going out of it, and i don't know that many people who aren't stoned on something''

(and of the handful who aren't drug abusing)'' what are they doing, well they are out eating soy beans and jogging, which i consider even sicker. i mean if your doing that you really need help............ that's when you need the damn drugs''
