“The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened ' it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.” WorldYearsWellsKindMeanIdeasMightUniverseOpportunityWonderfulHappenedConcernedExtraordinarySimplicityAriseComplexityFabulousRichnessStrangenessHitchhikingTime Well Spent Author:Douglas Adams
“To allow mystery, which is to say to yourself, 'There could be more...things we don't understand,' is not to damn knowledge....It is to permit yourself an extraordinary, freedom: someone else does not have to be wrong in order that you might be right...This tolerance for mystery invigorates the imagination; and it is the imagination that gives shape to the universe.” GivingDoeMightOrderUniverseImaginationMysteryShapesExtraordinaryToleranceDamnPermitMight Is Right Author:Barry Lopez
