“Currents of energy shimmer through our bodies. Like shooting stars, we rocket through spacious stillness. But this silent, unmoving background is nothing like the granite ideas we use trying to take root in groundless soil.” TryingIdeasUseBodyEnergyStarsRootsSilentCurrentsBackgroundsShootingSoilStillnessRocketsGraniteShimmerShooting Star Author:Anthony Lawlor
“We are shut up in school and college recitation rooms for ten to fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing. We cannot use our hands, or our legs, or our eyes, or our arms. We do not know an edible root in the woods. We cannot tell our course by the stars, nor the hour of day by the sun. It is well if we can swim and skate. We are afraid of a horse or a cow, of a dog, of a cat, of a spider. Far better was the Roman rule to teach a boy nothing that he could not learn standing.” IfsKnowsYearsWellsUseHandsEyeSchoolLastsCoursesStarsHoursRoomsBoysTeachSunDogCollegeArmsTenStandingRootsCatHorseLegsWoodsSwimCowsFifteenShut UpSpidersSkatesFifteen YearsRecitation Book:The Laws of Nature: Excerpts from the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson Source: The Laws of Nature: Excerpts from the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The first question concerning the Celestial Bodies is whether there be a system, that is whether the world or universe compose together one globe, with a center, or whether the particular globes of earth and stars be scattered dispersedly, each on its own roots, without any system or common center.” WorldFirstsBodyEarthTogetherUniverseStarsCommonParticularRootsAstronomyGlobesCelestialCosmologyCelestial Bodies Author:Francis Bacon
