scientificphilosopher: “Here are stars in uncountable numbers, each (perhaps) warming Earths unseen, other Earths teeming with other life. Here are galaxies where stars by the hundreds of billions are bom in gassy nebulas and die in violence. Here are galaxies arrayed in knots and streamers across light-years, across billions of light-years, like motes of dust dancing in window light, worlds and worlds without end, reaching at last back to that singular moment when all that now exists came to be in a blinding flash of pure creation.” — Chet Raymo, The Soul of the Night ..read more

scientificphilosopher: “The human heart is an ancient beast that roars and purrs with the same passions, whatever labels we may give them. We are so anxious to classify and categorize, both nature and human nature. It is a beautiful impulse—to contain the infinite in the finite, to wrest order from the chaos, to construct a foothold so we may climb toward higher truth. It is also a limiting one, for in naming things we often come to mistake the names for the things themselves. The labels we give to the loves of which we are capable—varied and vigorously transfigured from one kind into another ..read more

“Hands off: neither the whole truth nor the whole good is revealed to any single observer, although each observer gains a partial superiority of insight from the peculiar position in which he stands. Even prisons and sick-rooms have their special revelations. It is enough to ask each of us that he should be faithful to his own opportunities and make the most of his own blessings, without presuming to regulate the rest of the vast field.” –William James, On a Certain Blindness ..read more
