Quotes
"To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large-this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone and especially to the intellectual." - Aldous Huxley
"We quiver with excitement, goosebumps on our skin that come from a sense of being alive." - Karen A. Baquiran
"The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof." - Barbara Kingsolver, The Bean Trees
