Of Stars and Men Quotes

• (Narrator) "Modern man should now interpret the nature of the universe more rationally than Moses could, or Spinoza, or Locke, or Pascal, whose cosmic outlooks were of limited range. We've gone very far in the cumulation of verifiable facts. And this we must remember: there will be, if we are to remain civilized, no return to the old superstitions.

• (Narrator) "In the category of matter we can claim a much better world position. We have the distinction of sharing a wide variety of chemical atoms with the greats of the universe; with inanimate planets, with radiant galaxies, and cosmic dust. Man in a sense is made of star stuff."

• (Narrator) "The fact that life started on this undistinguished planet, on the Earth, and succeeded in holding on and growing here naturally, is by itself nearly enough assurance that life is a cosmos-wide occurrence."

• (Narrator) "Exactly where those other life-bearing planets are, we can not say. Lost as they are in the glare of their stars. Isolated as we are in space.
