Abraham Joshua Heschel
“The meaning of awe is to realize that life takes place under wide horizons, horizons that range beyond the span of an individual life or even the life of a nation, a generation, or an era. Awe enables us to perceive in the world intimations of the divine, to sense in small things the beginning of infinite significance, to sense the ultimate in the common and the simple; to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism

Aldo Leopold
“One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.”
Aldo Leopold

Abraham Joshua Heschel
“Among the many things that religious tradition holds in store for us is a legacy of wonder. The surest way to suppress our ability to understand the meaning of God and the importance of worship is to take things for granted. Indifference to the sublime wonder of living is the root of sin.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism

Abraham Joshua Heschel
“Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and he gave it to me.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel

Terry Pratchett
“If you have enough book space, I don't want to talk to you.”
Terry Pratchett
