“And [Gawain] constantly enquires of those he encounters / if they know, or not, in this neck of the woods, / of a great green man or a green chapel. / No, they say, never. Never in their lives. / They know of neither a chap nor a chapel / so strange.”
― Simon Armitage, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

“And because we are alive, the universe must be said to be alive. We are its consciousness as well as our own. We rise out of the cosmos and we see its mesh of patterns, and it strikes us as beautiful. And that feeling is the most important thing in all the universe—its culmination, like the color of the flower at first bloom on a wet morning.”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars
