Amor Towles
“To what end, he wondered, had the Divine created the stars in heaven to fill a man with feelings of inspiration one day and insignificance the next?”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Katie Henry
“Aren't most wonderful things a little bit strange?”
Katie Henry, Heretics Anonymous

Markus Zusak
“It makes me wonder, Do we spend most of our days trying to remember or forget things? Do we spend most of our time running towards or away from our lives? I don't know.”
Markus Zusak, Fighting Ruben Wolfe

Diane Ackerman
“At some point, one asks, "Toward what end is my life lived?" A great freedom comes from being able to answer that question. A sleeper can be decoyed out of bed by the sheer beauty of dawn on the open seas. Part of my job, as I see it, is to allow that to happen. Sleepers like me need at some point to rise and take their turn on morning watch for the sake of the planet, but also for their own sake, for the enrichment of their lives. From the deserts of Namibia to the razor-backed Himalayas, there are wonderful creatures that have roamed the Earth much longer than we, creatures that not only are worthy of our respect but could teach us about ourselves.”
Diane Ackerman, The Rarest of the Rare: Vanishing Animals, Timeless Worlds

SARK
“Remember to delight yourself first, then others can be truly delighted."


This was my mantra when I published my first book in 1990, and still holds true. When we focus on the song of our soul and heart, then others will be touched similarly. Sometimes people wonder or worry whether people will like or approve of their creative expression. It's none of your business. It's your business to stay present and focused for the work of your deepest dreams. It might look crooked or strange, or be very odd-but if it delights you, then it is yours, and will find it's way into other hearts.”
SARK

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value

“I have not yet lost a feeling of wonder, and of delight, that this delicate motion should reside in all the things around us, revealing itself only to him who looks for it. I remember, in the winter of our first experiments, just seven years ago, looking on snow with new eyes. There the snow lay around my doorstep 鈥 great heaps of protons quietly precessing in the earth's magnetic field. To see the world for a moment as something rich and strange is the private reward of many a discovery.”
Edward M. Purcell

Kamand Kojouri
“I wonder
if you ever read my poems
and wish
they were written
for you.”
Kamand Kojouri

Lord Dunsany
“Come with me, ladies and gentlemen who are in any wise weary of London: come with me: and those that tire at all of the world we know: for we have new worlds here.”
Lord Dunsany, The Book of Wonder

John Marmysz
“Despite its successes, in the end, philosophical thinking always falls short of its real goal. It involves both the wonder of aspiring toward the Truth and the distress of falling short of that Truth. In this way, philosophy can be characterized as wondrous distress.”
John Marmysz, The Path of Philosophy: Truth, Wonder, and Distress

Steven Redhead
“Success is realising the true joy and wonder of life can only be yours if you follow your own intuition, aiming to achieve your bliss.”
Steven Redhead, The Solution

Faith Baldwin
“Most of us forget to take time for wonder, praise and gratitude until it is almost too late. Gratitude is a many-colored quality, reaching in all directions. It goes out for small things and for large; it is a God-ward going.”
Faith Baldwin, Many Windows, Seasons of the Heart

Fr茅d茅ric Gros
“Walking causes a repetitive, spontaneous poetry to rise naturally to the lips, words as simple as the sound of footsteps on the road. There also seems to be an echo of walking in the practice of two choruses singing a psalm in alternate verses, each on a single note, a practice that makes it possible to chant and listen by turns. Its main effect is one of repetition and alternation that St Ambrose compared to the sound of the sea: when a gentle surf is breaking quietly on the shore the regularity of the sound doesn鈥檛 break the silence, but structures it and renders it audible. Psalmody in the same way, in the to-and-fro of alternating responses, produces (Ambrose said) a happy tranquillity in the soul. The echoing chants, the ebb and flow of waves recall the alternating movement of walking legs: not to shatter but to make the world鈥檚 presence palpable and keep time with it. And just as Claudel said that sound renders silence accessible and useful, it ought to be said that walking renders presence accessible and useful.”
Fr茅d茅ric Gros, A Philosophy of Walking

Will Advise
“#Cats are marvelous creatures - they either adapt to circumstances, or decide to make circumstances adapt to them. Either way - they win.”
Will Advise, Nothing is here...

Vera Nazarian
“Is it folly to believe in something that is intangible? After all, some of the greatest intangibles are Love, Hope, and Wonder.

Another is Deity.

The choice to be a fool is yours.”
Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Vera Nazarian
“The pyramid shape is said to hold many secrets and amazing properties. One of them is a sense of wonder.”
Vera Nazarian

Fr茅d茅ric Gros
“Blinding, mineral, shattering silence. You hear nothing but the quiet crunch of stones underfoot. An implacable, definitive silence, like a transparent death. Sky of a perfectly detached blue. You advance with eyes down, reassuring yourself sometimes with a silent mumbling. Cloudless sky, limestone slabs filled with presence: silence nothing can sidestep. Silence fulfilled, vibrant immobility, tensed like a bow. There鈥檚 the silence of early morning. For long routes in autumn you have to start very early. Outside everything is violet, the dim light slanting through red and gold leaves. It is an expectant silence. You walk softly among huge dark trees, still swathed in traces of blue night. You are almost afraid of awakening. Everything whispering quietly. There鈥檚 the silence of walks through the snow, muffled footsteps under a white sky. All around you nothing moves. Things and even time itself are iced up, frozen solid in silent immobility. Everything is stopped, unified, thickly padded. A watching silence, white, fluffy, suspended as if in parentheses.”
Fr茅d茅ric Gros, A Philosophy of Walking

Carrie Ryan
“The living used to wonder what happened after death. She said that whole religions were born and evolved around this one simple uncertainty.”
Carrie Ryan, The Forest of Hands and Teeth

Fr茅d茅ric Gros
“But walking causes absorption. Walking interminably, taking in through your pores the height of the mountains when you are confronting them at length, breathing in the shape of the hills for hours at a time during a slow descent. The body becomes steeped in the earth it treads. And thus, gradually, it stops being in the landscape: it becomes the landscape. That doesn鈥檛 have to mean dissolution, as if the walker were fading away to become a mere inflection, a footnote. It鈥檚 more a flashing moment: sudden flame, time catching fire. And here, the feeling of eternity is all at once that vibration between presences. Eternity, here, in a spark.”
Fr茅d茅ric Gros, A Philosophy of Walking

John Stuart Mill
“A cultivated mind鈥擨 do not mean that of a philosopher, but any mind to which the fountains of knowledge have been opened, and which has been taught, in any tolerable degree, to exercise its faculties鈥攆inds sources of inexhaustible interest in all that surrounds it: in the objects of nature, the achievements of art, the imaginations of poetry, the incidents of history, the ways of mankind, past and present, and their prospects in the future.”
John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism

Nadeem Aslam
“God is just a name for our wonder.”
Nadeem Aslam, The Blind Man's Garden

Charles Bukowski
“Nothing like beautiful legs. 'Cause with beautiful legs, even if you've been there only once or twice, there might be something up there besides the cunt, there might be something really marvellous this time - it could be a cunt, but it could be - it's just something about looking at the legs just makes you - I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the cunt, I'm just saying, you always imagine - some extra magic when you're looking at the outside portion of the female.”
Charles Bukowski

Peter Matthiessen
“The mystical perception (which is only 鈥渕ystical鈥 if reality is limited to what can be measured by the intellect and senses) is remarkably consistent in all ages and all places. All phenomena are processes, connections, all is in flux鈥ave the mind screens knocked away to see there is no real edge to anything, that in the endless interpenetration of the universe, a molecular flow, a cosmic energy shimmers in all stone and steel as well as flesh鈥”
Peter Matthiessen, The Snow Leopard

“Find me in words
That has not been written
In songs,
Yet to be sung

In an empty sea,
Or the brightest moon
Or the gloomiest sun

Because yeu will not find me
Like yeu find other people
I paint my soul in dreams
I live for the person i have never been

Though life is quite simple
When yeu want to understand it simply

I am here
Waiting for doors to open in the sky
I am here
Waiting for doors to open in the sky”
Sandesh Hukpachongbang

“Sometimes
I can't figure out what to wear
And sometimes,
I have universe in my head..”
Sandesh Hukpachongbang

“I smile,
For the universe speaks to me in its own ways”
Sandesh Hukpachongbang

Alan             Moore
“Come, dry your eyes, for you are LIFE, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly.
Dry your eyes, and let's go home.”
Alan Moore, Watchmen

Carl Sagan
“But in introducing me simultaneously to skepticism and to wonder, they taught me the two uneasily cohabiting modes of thought that are central to the scientific method.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
