This quote comes from James Agee's
wonderful book, LET US NOW PRAISE
FAMOUS MEN.

"Each man is intimately connected with the first and most extreme reach of time. Each man is composed
of substances identical with all that
surrounds him, both the common objects of his disregard, and the
incandescent centers of stars. All that each person is and experiences,
in body and mind,is but a differing
expression of one identical root.

And yet not one of these persons is
ever quite to be duplicated or replaced, not has he ever had precedent; but each is a new and
incommunicably tender life, easily
wounded and easily killed, sustaining for a while, with little
defense, the enormous assaults of the universe.

That we choose to continue this
burden of breathing, of being, through so long an accumulation of
time, and do not break utterly to
fragments of nothing, is to our
everlasting glory as individuals and
as a species."
