Wait, I'll ask G. K. Chesterton.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) is the poet who asked the question. According to Wiki, he was known as the prince of paradox.
The entire quote is:
One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
The distance is meant (I guess) as the difference between knowledge and the object of the knowledge. You have a better chance of understanding the universe (including the farthest star) than of understanding yourself.

Before we can compare people to stars,
it's necessary to grasp certain principles
of creation.
Existence is a mixture of energy
and frequencies, that interface with
invisible forces we call Laws Of
Physics. This pertains to both stars
and people.
Energy has two basic stages:
Quantum (Black Hole ) and Particle.
When energy collapses to a quantum
stage, it forms a void. When energy
explodes from a void, it spins into a
state of time and space. Thus, what
used to be a universe is now a huge
genetic field that recycles energy.
There is a theory today that suggests
the possibility of people taking a quantum
leap through zillions of light years in the
blink of an eye. However, if we can do this,
so can the stars, or any other energy
form.

If your asking is there could be something living outside of what we can see, it's possible and maybe one day we'll find out. We could be a small part of a living thing.
