Olaf Stapledon - Star Maker

Came across another quote very similar to the one I posted yesterday this time by the writer/philosopher Olaf Stapledon (1886-1950) in his seminal work Star Maker:

In time it became clear that we, individual inhabitants of a host of other worlds, were playing a small part in one of the great movements by which the cosmos was seeking to know itself, and even see beyond itself.

I seem to be late to this discovery that others have previously stumbled upon but the more I think about it the more I believe it might hold true. I will contemplate on this further.
