""Ralph Waldo Emerson once asked what we would do if the stars only came out once every thousand years. No one would sleep that night, of course. The world would create new religions overnight. We would be ecstatic, delirious, made rapturous by the glory of God. Instead, the stars come out every night and we watch television."

This is an excerpt from a commencement address by a Paul Hawken (I've never heard of him, either) which was sent to me by a friend. Several other worthwhile thoughts in it. Google if you're curious.
