The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome.

And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.
