Howdie /lit/

I'm not looking for a book this time,
I'm looking for a speech or something that's the same.

I currently have something from Sagan:

That's here. That's home. That's us.
On it everyone you love, everone you know, everyone you ever heard of,
every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, idelogies,
and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager,
every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization.

Every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father,
hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals.

Every corrupt politician, every 'superstar', every 'supreme leader',
every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on a mote of dust,
suspended in a sunbeam.

And I need something that is about the same length, about us in the totality of space.

Thanks in advance.

p.s, I don't really care who the author is, as long his or her name is known.
