I do not care what comes after; I have seen the dragons on the wind of morning.
Ursula K. Le GuinLook at everything always as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.

I never wonder to see men wicked, but I often wonder to see them not ashamed.
Jonathan SwiftOnce there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.

Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't!
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.
