Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?Henry David Thoreau
So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.Henry David Thoreau
Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.Henry David Thoreau
Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.Henry David Thoreau
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.C. S. Lewis
Despite tantalizing suggestions of fossilized microbes in meteorites, puzzling and possibly biogenic methane gas in the martian atmosphere, and a long-standing controversy over the Viking lander experiments of nearly 40 years ago, there's still no Exhibit A that points unequivocally to biology in our own back yard.Seth Shostak
You may not see massive UFO exhibits at your local science museum, but there's no dearth of saucer stories infesting my email. Every day, I receive several reports of alien sightings, extraterrestrial plans for Earth, and agitated screeds about the reluctance of scientists to take the whole subject seriously.Seth Shostak
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.Blaise Pascal
