Antidote
If I had influence with the good fairy,
who is supposed to preside over the christening
of all children; I should ask that her gift
to each child be a sense of wonder, so indestructible
that it would last throughout life, an unfailing antidote
against the boredom and disenchantment of later years,
the sterile preoccupation with things that are artificial,
the alienation from the sources of our strength.
~Rachel Carson~
Poetry
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold
no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off,
I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there
any other way?
~Emily Dickinson~
The Mysterious
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
~Albert Einstein~
