“It's the map of my childhood, my sadness, my Eden, my hell and home.”

“...I read a quote from an astronaut. Paraphrasing, he said: "On our first day in space we were all pointing to our countries. On the second day in space we were all pointing to our continents. On the third day in space we were all pointing to our planet." How wonderful it would be if we could all have the experience of looking at our planet from a distance and seeing that all humans are a single species dependent on one another for our survival and continued evolution.”
― David Berceli, Trauma Releasing Exercises

“Knowledge is fundamental to all human achievements and progress. It is both the key and the quest that advances mankind. The search for knowledge is what brought men to the moon; but it took knowledge already acquired to make it possible to get there.

How we use the knowledge we gain determines our progress on earth, in space or on the moon. Your library is a storehouse for mind and spirit. Use it well."

“I saw the world from the stars' point of view, and it looked unbearably lonely.”
