"We are stardust brought to life."

(p. 34)

Response from T. Sharp:

This idea -- that we are made of the same elements as stars -- really made me understand that we are all made up of the same stuff. All of us! All the people, dogs, cats, plants, dirt, chickens, computers, stars and comets -- we all have the same bits that make us, just put together in different ways. It's a little bit like Taco Bell, but so much more awe inspiring and elegant. The things that make me, make the moon and stars. We are all amazing creatures.
