Charles Simic
“The purpose of poetry is to return that which is familiar to its original strangeness.”
Charles Simic

Robert A. Heinlein
“To be “matter of fact” about the world is to blunder into fantasy--and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long

Nick Cave
“[T]he luminous and shocking beauty of the everyday is something I try to remain alert to, if only as an antidote to the chronic cynicism and disenchantment that seems to surround everything, these days. It tells me that, despite how debased or corrupt we are told humanity is and how degraded the world has become, it just keeps on being beautiful. It can’t help it.”
Nick Cave, Faith, Hope and Carnage

Cole Arthur Riley
“Bravado tends to drown out the sound of wonder. Perhaps you've known that person who devours beauty as if it belongs to them. It is a possessive wonder. It eats not to delight, but to collect, trade, and boast. It consumes beauty to grow in ego, not in love. It climbs mountains to gain ownership, not to gain freedom.”
Cole Arthur Riley, This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us

“Wonder is not an exterior destination to arrive at, like a mountaintop view, or a once in a lifetime concert. Those experiences may bring that feeling. But wonder is an internal filter through which we learn to look at life.

This filter is always there, but it is most easily accessible to us in new situations, when we don't have a narrative about what's happening yet. If we want to feel the rapturous experience of being alive more often, then removing the filter of familiarity is the practice we most need to adopt.”
Scott Erickson, Say Yes: Discover the Surprising Life Beyond the Death of a Dream
