C. S. Lewis

Herman Melville
I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes. In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia. Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization. Charles Lindbergh
The nonbelievers need the believers. They are desperate to have someone believe."
