#Wonder

"Summertime. It was a song. It was a season. I wondered if that season would ever live inside of me."

"My coffee gets increasingly better the more I drink and the closer I come to the bottom of the cup, where all the sugar is. I wonder if life is the same way as we approach the end."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

"Every moment of light and dark is a miracle."

"The winds, the sea, and the moving tides are what they are. If there is wonder and beauty and majesty in them, science will discover these qualities... If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry."

"I hope the wonder of what happens to my characters never goes away. That yearning keeps me writing."

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

"That's the whole problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder."

"O, wonder!How many goodly creatures are there here!How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,That has such people in't!"

"In my small way, I preserved and catalogued, and dipped into the vast ocean of learning that awaited, knowing all the time that the life of one man was insufficient for even the smallest part of the wonders that lay within. It is cruel that we are granted the desire to know, but denied the time to do so properly. We all die frustrated; it is the greatest lesson we have to learn."

"...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?"

"I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering bout the big things and asking bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, the more I love."

"I've often wondered what makes a relationship last. I guess the best answer is it's the one right after the next to the last one."

"The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder."

"As knowledge increases, wonder deepens."

"She had loved him for such a long time, she thought. How was it that she did now know him at all?"

"I’ve often wondered why more science textbooks don’t tell teenagers that the only thing sharks like to eat more than fish, are dead prostitutes."

"Cutting off fundamental, curiosity-driven science is like eating the seed corn. We may have a little more to eat next winter but what will we plant so we and our children will have enough to get through the winters to come?"

"The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable. It is a deep aesthetic passion to rank with the finest that music and poetry can deliver. It is truly one of the things that make life worth living and it does so, if anything, more effectively if it convinces us that the time we have for living is quite finite."

"Adam understood, then, that Gansey and Blue’s awe changed this place. Ronan and Adam may have seen this place as magical, but Gansey and Blue’s wonder made it holy."
