““Even cavemen who could barely think, they must have seen it, that sky; and tribal people bossed around by their village chiefs; even shackled slaves who might briefly feel freed simply because the sky was so vast, and for a few moments their eyes could own a rich emptiness that they had a right to see, just like anyone else. Because every one of earth's people who felt small, eventually they must have discovered how they could look upward. And maybe that simple black sky might have whispered to them the very same thing we are feeling now, "Never give up hope.””
