“The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” – Carl Sagan

Sagan’s words remind us that our curiosity is a gift. Whether you’re a student pondering the cosmos, or a teacher sparking that wonder in others, this quote invites us. It encourages us to keep exploring. It’s a call to dream bigger. It encourages us to ask questions without easy answers. It reminds us to cherish our tiny, miraculous place in the vast universe.
