In which I share a few little quotes about stars--some new, and some old

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood,
the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars.
We are made of starstuff.”

― Carl Sagan

“We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins,
carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains.
93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames,
we are all just stars that have people names.”

― Nikita Gill

“There’s as many atoms in a single molecule of your DNA
as there are stars in the typical galaxy.
We are, each of us, a little universe.”

― Neil deGrasse Tyson

“I love the stars.

Because they can't say anything.

I love the stars.

Because they do not judge anyone.”

― Natsuki Takaya

"Are we human because we gaze at the stars,
or do we gaze at them because we are human?"
Pointless, really...
"Do the stars gaze back?"
Now, that's a question.”

― Neil Gaiman

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” 

-– Oscar Wilde
