"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson

I watched that just before I went to bed, along with two other tributes, including that by Lawrence Krauss. At the very last second, you can see that Dawkins is genuinely choked up by the subject, and had tremendous respect for Hitch's courage.
