“First, the world is not merely the object of our understanding, it is the occasion for it. The world prompts us to inquiry by presenting itself as puzzling, and then it obligingly yields up its truths in response to our patient investigations. The world as such is meant to be known and it invites man to fulfill his role as systematic understander of the world. Imagine how frustrating it would be to be born with the desire to understand in a world which did not cooperate!”
― Johnathan Lear

“Stale words, what are they worth?
A moment comes and God help those for whom it never comes.
When love of such nobility possesses this shaking frame
That even the sweetest word, the ultimate honey, stings like vinegar.”
― Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac

“But you are wise,
Or else you love not, for to be wise and love
Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above.”
― William Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida

“Once in a thousand times, it's interesting.”
― Thornton Wilder, Our Town
