THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS

 

“Billions of years from now our sun,

then a distended red giant star,

will have reduced Earth to a charred cinder.

But the Voyager record will still be largely intact,

in some other remote region of the Milky Way galaxy,

preserving a murmur of an ancient civilization that once flourished.”

 

~ Carl Sagan ~
