“That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.”
― Emily Dickinson

“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.”
― Rachel Carson
― Rachel Carson
“We travel together as passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and I'll say the love we give our fragile craft. We cannot maintain it half fortunate, half miserable, half confident, half despairing, half slave to the ancient enemies of man, half free in liberation of resources undreamed of until this day. No craft, no crew can travel safely with such contradictions. On their resolution depends the survival of us all.”
― Adlai Stevenson

“Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
