Quotation of the Day for January 18, 2014



"I've told you that you are far more insignificant than you ever thought," [Krauss] tells an audience, after explaining that the universe can spring from nothing, with no recourse to a God or a miracle. "And that's what I want you to celebrate," he continues, to laughter. Instead of being depressed or looking to God to give your life meaning, "You create your own meaning and enjoy your moment in the sun," he says.

- Lawrence Krauss, cosmologist at Arizona State University, quoted from the new documentary "The Unbelievers".
