• Don't get in the way of children who find it natural and obvious to explore the world around them - even if it means they make a mess of your kitchen or living room.

• Those who see the cosmic perspective as a depressing outlook, they really need to reassess how they think about the world. Because when I look up in the universe, I know I'm small but I'm also big. I'm big because I'm connected to the universe and the universe is connected to me.
