Diane Ackerman
“Fear is danger to your body, but disgust is danger to your soul.”
― Diane Ackerman, A Slender Thread

C.S. Lewis
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
― C.S. Lewis

Vladimir Nabokov
“Our imagination flies -- we are its shadow on the earth.”
― Vladimir Nabokov

Diane Ackerman
“When I set a glass prism on a windowsill and allow the sun to flood through it, a spectrum of colors dances on the floor. What we call "white" is a rainbow of colored rays packed into a small space. The prism sets them free. Love is the white light of emotion.”
― Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of Love

Diane Ackerman
“Look at your feet. You are standing in the sky. When we think of the sky, we tend to look up, but the sky actually begins at the earth. We walk through it, yell into it, rake leaves, wash the dog, and drive cars in it. We breathe it deep within us. With every breath, we inhale millions of molecules of sky, heat them briefly, and then exhale them back into the world.”
― Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses
