Oliver Sacks
My religion is nature. That’s what arouses those feelings of wonder and mysticism and gratitude in me.
Oliver Sacks

Must the interest of life wane for us all as the progress of knowledge curtails the playground of imagination? No doubt it must in some measure, but there is another cause. I believe that in these days we have too many occupations, too many interests; we know too many things, and, if you will, have too many advantages and facilities. Our faculty of taking an interest is dissipated and frittered away.
EHA Introduced By Ruskin Bond, A Naturalist On The Prowl
