"Nous faisons partie de cet univers. Nous sommes dans cet univers. Mais peut-être plus important que ces deux faits est que l'univers est en nous."

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Simplified Meaning:

We live in the universe, and everything we do happens within it. But, beyond just living in the universe, there's a special connection because the universe is also a part of us. Imagine looking at the stars; they're millions of miles away, yet the same elements found in stars, like carbon and oxygen, are inside our bodies. For example, if you think of trees growing from the earth, they are not separate from it. They get nutrients from the soil, and through this connection, they grow and thrive. Similarly, we get our physical makeup from the universe, implying that its vastness is thread through our very being. Knowing this can make us feel more connected to everything around us. If someone realizes they share a common bond with the stars, they might feel a greater sense of belonging and responsibility to care for the world and people around them. This idea can inspire a deeper appreciation of life, nature, and the cosmos.
