“I think one thing that kids who grow up on farms really have going for them is they have exposure to death and birth in a totally different way. I think it takes away a little bit of the mystery and a little bit of the fear, and I do wish I had that. And I wish I was able to grow my own food.” ThinkingWayLittlesDifferentKidsAbleWishGrowsBitsMy OwnGrowing UpOne ThingMysteryBirthLittle BitDifferent WaysFarmsExposure Author:Rachel McAdams
“Man, do you think yours is the only soul? Look around you. Everything that you see quivers with being. Though your thoughts are free, one thing you do not think about: the whole. Beasts have a mind; respect it. Flowers too- look at one. Nature brought forth each petal. There is a mystery that sleeps in metal. Everything feels, and has power over you.” ThinkingMenFeelsMindLooksSoulWholeSleepOne ThingMysteryFlowerEnvironmentalBeastOver YouMetalsPetalsQuiver Author:Gerard De Nerval

“It's one thing to assent to propositions like 'The way of things is ineffable', and quite another to internalise what it is being gestured at by such propositions, to get a sense or feel for mystery. For me, at least, it is in and through ways of engaging with nature that this sense is intimated. These ways include being in the garden.” WayFeelsOne ThingMysteryGardenPropositionsEngagingIneffable Author:David E. Cooper

“The artist is a collector of things imaginary or real. He accumulates things with the same enthusiasm that a little boy stuffs his pockets. The scrap heap and the museum are embraced with equal curiosity. He takes snapshots, makes notes and records impressions on tablecloths or newspapers, on backs of envelopes or matchbooks. Why one thing and not another is part of the mystery, but he is omnivorous.” LittlesRealArtistStuffBoysRecordsOne ThingMysteryEqualNotesCuriosityNewspapersImpressionEnthusiasmPocketsMuseumsImaginaryLittle BoysCollectorsScrapEnvelopesSnapshots Author:Paul Rand
“He thought about science, about faith, about man. he thought about how every culture, in every country, in every time, had always shared one thing. We all had the Creator. We used different names, different faces, and different prayers, but God was the universal constant for man. God was the symbol we all shared...the symbol of all the mysteries of life that we could not understand. The ancients had praised God as a symbol of our limitless human potential, but that ancient symbol had been lost over time.

“That was the thing: Once, the difference between light and dark had been basic. One was good, one bad. Suddenly, though, things weren’t so clear. The dark was still a mystery, something hidden, something to be scared of, but I’d come to fear the light, too. It was where everything was revealed, or seemed to be. Eyes closed, I saw only the blackness, reminding me of this one thing, the most deep of my secrets; eyes open, there was only the world that didn’t know it, bright, inescapable, and somehow, still there.” KnowsWorldStillsLightEyeDifferencesDarkSecretClearSawsOne ThingMysteryScaredRemindingBlacknessLight And Dark Author:Sarah Dessen
