Dust, lowly dust, plays a very important role in both the birth of solar systems and the death of solar systems.

I am on both ends of it; I'm a scientist and artist.

Both art and science are ways to see more in what you're looking at. Good art and good science both add dimensions to what you see.

We don't object to our date of birth, so why object to our date of death, which is just as much a matter of chance.

I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.

I am not the born; how can there be either birth or death for me?
