Ah! Paraphrasing:
   Views of humanity seem to have run the gamut from "We are of
   supreme importance to the Universe, to we are wretched creatures
   of the Universe. But there is a third view:

   That the significance of human beings to the Cosmos is
   Vanishingly Small".

   This implies, while our significance to the Cosmos is
   vanishingly small, *it's still significant* in some fashion - ie
   - NOT 0.

   and that's something to get excited about. Amazing as I've
   carried that viewpoint with me for a long time, and never heard
   it articulated so clearly.
