“Each time we cast our view toward distances that have not yet been touched, we transform not only the present moment and the one following but also alter the past within us.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters on Life

“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
