I especially like Krauss's quote.

“Every atom in your body comes from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than the atoms in your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about the universe:
You are all stardust.
You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, all the things that matters for evolution, weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created by stars.
So forget *****. Stars died so you could live.”
Lawrence Krauss
