Okay, here goes:

The universe is either a really, really big place where you are really, really infinitesimally tiny and unimportant;

or, a really, really big place that is unquestionably your oyster, with you at the absolute centre, and you can possibly have your fairy cake and eat it too.

It all depends on whether you exit through the door or the window.

Some people live in one, and some in the other; and some switch back and forth. Regrettably, you can't live in both at the same time.

How'd I do, Teach?
