“It seems as if in the process of growing up we lose the ability to wonder about the world. And in doing so, we lose the ability to wonder about something central-something philosophers try to restore. For somewhere inside ourselves, something tells us that life is a huge mystery. This is something we once experienced, long before we learned to think the thought.” — Jostein Gaarder
