In the world's audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight.

Starship Troopers (1959) by Robert A. Heinlein

I try to forget what happiness was,
and when that don't work, I study the stars.

The difference between Freddie and almost all the other rock stars was that he was selling the voice.

Stand here with me...with the stars and hills as witness and in their presence consecrate your life and talent, your song and your speech, your thought and your dream, to the motherland. O poet see visions from hill –tops and spread abroad the message of hope to the toilers of the valleys.

Do you really think a God who created the universe, billions of galaxies, stars, billions of planets- would promise to reward some little things in a pale blue dot (i.e Earth) for repeatedly saying that he is the greatest and kindest and for fasting? Such a great creator can't be so narcissist!
