Colin Wilson quote: "Life itself is an exile. The way home is not the way back."
Life itself is an exile. The way home is not the way back. Colin Wilson

Socrates quote: "Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your..."
Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart’s desire; the other is to get it. Socrates
Life cannot have had a random beginning ... The trouble is that there are about 2000 enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in 10^40,000, an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup. Fred Hoyle
Life and the world, or whatever we call that which we are and feel, is an astonishing thing. The mist of familiarity obscures from us the wonder of our being. We are struck with admiration at some of its transient modifications, but it is itself the great miracle. Percy Bysshe Shelley
