“The universe, so vast and beautiful , makes actions and words seem so insignificant. As I grow, I begin to understand that there are much greater things out there than myself, and although I have not witnessed with my own eyes many of the great things in the universe, the things I have seen are enough to make me believe that in comparison, I, along with my actions and words, am also insignificant.”
Jonathan Whitmore
