Each chapter begins with a few epigrams, and one of those is this epitaph from the crypt of two astronomers, apparently buried together:
“We have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.”

And then just for good measure, that chapter also has the original version of the famous quote from Carl Sagan, Carnegie Hall, 1984:
“All the heavy elements that make up the rocks under our feet, the carbon and iron that pulse through our veins – all of these things were created by suns that had reached the ends of their lives and erupted into supernovae.“We are all dust of the stars.”

We've always stayed in touch, and I even used to watch her child after school a few years back. She can be somewhat moody at times, but I've always overlooked that and we've shared laughs and similar interests. I see her on FB a lot, (although I rarely post myself) and she's always inviting someone out with her either from her new job, or another friend she's also known for years. She has not personally asked me to hang out/get together in about a year now.. last year I was the only one asking/inviting. By late last fall I noticed it, and kind of backed off. She has said these last couple months of the new year, 'Let's hang out and see each other'.. but still no text/FB / call etc. I don't know what to do, should I completely back off, as it seems for a year I'm the only one who has shown interest in staying friends...
