“Wonder is not precisely knowing.”

People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.

They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.

This is my letter to the world that never wrote to me.

The lovely flowers embarrass me. They make me regret I am not a bee.

Does not Eternity appear dreadful to you. I often get to thinking of it and it seems so dark to me that I almost wish there was no Eternity. To think that we must forever live and never cease to be. It seems as if Death would be a relief to so endless a state of existence.

If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves. You can gain more control over your life by paying closer attention to the little things.

Open your life wide, and take me in forever. I will never be tired-I will never be noisy when you want to be still…nobody else will see me, but you-but that is enough-I shall not want any more.

We meet no Stranger, but Ourself.

Friends are nations in themselves.

I tasted life.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.

Fortune befriends the bold.

Beauty is not caused. It is.

Sometimes I wonder will God ever forgive us for what we’ve done to each other? Then I look around and I realize God left this place a long time ago.

Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact.

I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it’s going to work or whether I’m going to fall flat on my face.

Wisdom begins in wonder.

Today I woke up and I wonder: What’s happening into the sea?

Out of the bliss comes magic, wonderment and creativity.

We all have a thirst for wonder. It’s a deeply human quality. Science and religion are both bound up with it.

It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
