“The photographic enthusiast likes to lure us into a darkened room in order to display his slides on a silver screen. Aided by the adaptability of the eye and by the borrowed light from the intense projector bulb, he can achieve those relationships in brightness that will make us dutifully admire the wonderful autumn tints he photographed on his latest trip. As soon as we look at a print of these photographs by day, the light seems to go out of them. It is one of the miracles of art that the same does not happen there.” LooksDoeArtLightSeemsHappensEyeOrderRoomsWonderfulAchieveMiraclePhotographScreensLikesIntenseAdmireSilverAutumnPrintDisplaySlidesBorrowedBrightnessAdaptabilityLureBulbsProjectors Author:Ernst Gombrich
“Man is the miracle in nature. God Is the One Miracle to man. Behold, "There is a God," thou sayest. Thou sayest well: In that thou sayest all. To Be is more Of wonderful, than being, to have wrought, Or reigned, or rested.” MenWellsWonderfulMiracle Book:The Poetical Works of Jean Ingelow Source: The Poetical Works of Jean Ingelow
“From without, no wonderful effect is wrought within ourselves, unless some interior, responding wonder meets it.

“Religion and science have nothing to do with each other, they're about different things, science is about the way the world works and religion is about [...] miracles. [...] And in any case, if you ask most ordinary people in church or in a mosque why they believe, it's almost certainly got something to do with the belief that God does wonderful things, that God intervenes, that God heals the sick, that God answers prayers, God forgives sins.” PeopleIfsWorldWayBelieveMeanDoeDifferentAsksBeliefChurchPrayerSinAnswersWonderfulOrdinarySickMiracleForgivingHealDifferent ThingsScience And ReligionWonderful ThingsOrdinary PeopleMosquesGod ForgivesGod Answers PrayersGod Heals Author:Richard Dawkins

“One day I realized that I really needed to stop losing myself in my work and in my addictions. What happens is you just wake up one morning and feel absolutely dead. You can't even drag your soul back into your body. You feel you have negated everything that is wonderful about life. When you have fallen that far, it feels like a miracle when you regain your love of life. That's when you can begin really looking for a relationship. When you can appreciate the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.” GivingFeelsSoulWholeBodyHappensMorningWonderfulNeededOne DayLosingConceptsAppreciateMiracleWake UpAddictionYour BodyI RealizedYour SoulFallenLove LifeDragLosing Myself Author:David Bowie
