Casting a penny into this awesome thread:

    If it's only us... It casts us humans not merely as one sentient species among billions, but as the sole way in which the universe became aware of itself. It is the story of the universe becoming conscious through us.

Despite being in the camp thinking there's life out there, I adore this quote.
