“Since the first human eye saw a leaf in Devonian sandstone and a puzzled finger reached to touch it, sadness has lain over the heart of man. By this tenuous thread of living protoplasm, stretching backward into time, we are linked forever to lost beaches whose sands have long since hardened into stone. The stars that caught our blind amphibian stare have shifted far or vanished in their courses, but still that naked, glistening thread winds onward. No one knows the secret of its beginning or its end. Its forms are phantoms. The thread alone is real; the thread is life.”
― Loren Eiseley, The Firmament of Time

“One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other than human.”

“The truth is, however, that there is nothing very “normal” about nature. Once upon a time there were no flowers at all.”

“The iron did not remember the blood it had once moved within, the phosphorous had forgot the savage brain.”
