Galaxy
The Milky Way; that luminous tract, or belt, which is seen at night stretching across the heavens, and which is composed of innumerable stars, so distant and blended as to be distinguishable only with the telescope. The term has recently been used for remote clusters of stars.
A splendid assemblage of persons or things.

Seth Lloyd
The New York Times' was enigmatic: 'Some unimaginable gravitational force is pulling our entire galaxy in the opposite direction.' End of article. If you stop and think about that, we are recreating ourselves.
Dwight Schultz

Wilson Greatbatch
The priceless galaxy of misinformation called the mind.
Djuna Barnes

Leroy Chiao
Is it not careless to become too local when there are four hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone.
A. R. Ammons
I've always thought that we, as human beings, would be naive and arrogant to pretend that we're the only life form in the galaxy.
Jonathan Frakes
