I put up my proverb

 It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
  Neil Armstrong

 I put up my thumb... and it blotted out the planet Earth.
  Neil Armstrong

 We expected that there might be Earth-mass planets here because the planet we know about is weird. It's too big for its mass and one of the best theories to explain that was that it was being puffed out by the tidal influence of a Earth-mass planet in a nearby orbit. Unfortunately that does not work.

 I remember the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never blotted out a line. My answer hath been, `Would he had blotted a thousand.'
  Ben Jonson

 What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now
  Lord Byron

 If every human being disappeared off the face of the earth in an instant, the earth would still keep spinning and the planet would develop new life forms.

 It takes too many resources to send each person into space. Earth is the most suitable planet in the solar system. But unless the human race spreads into space, I doubt it will survive the next thousand years. Some accident can wipe out life on a single planet.
  Stephen Hawking

 Eventually you get to the point where you won't be able to grip anything. Pex Mahoney Tufvesson is one of the world's top hackers. Your ability to grip an object depends very much on the thumb — the thumb is the most powerful of the digits, so when movement of the thumb becomes painful you can't hold on to things.

 The Earth Dinner gives us a way for family and friends to come together to appreciate the remarkable role food plays in our lives, in our family?s histories and on our planet. How and what we eat determines the health of the earth.

 The real thumb can move in five types of way. We have managed to create a thumb that can mimic at least two of these like hold a ball, move the thumb and middle finger, as when unlocking the door or gripping an object like a hammer or microphone,

 This discovery is particularly exciting because the habitable zone for these stars - the region where a planet would be the right temperature for liquid water - is close to the star. Planets that are close to their stars are easier to find. The first truly Earth-like planet we discover might be a world orbiting a red dwarf.

 The Earth is a system that can change very rapidly. Fifty-five million years ago, when the Earth was in a period of global warmth, ocean currents rapidly changed direction and this change did not reverse to original conditions for about 20,000 years. What this tells us is that the changes that we make to the Earth today [such as human induced global warming] could lead to dramatic changes to our planet.

 I mean, we are on Earth, ... but he's playing on a different planet.

 We'll be looking at Earth from the outside, looking at how we study our own planet.

 Who will speak for Planet Earth?
  Dr. Carl Sagan
