“T’ain’t worthwhile to wear a day all out before it comes.” — Sarah Orne Jewett

“Among the mind’s powers is one that comes of itself to many children and artists. It need not be lost, to the end of his days, by anyone who has ever had it.

A child in the full health of his mind will put his hand flat on the summer lawn, feel it, and give a little shiver of private glee at the elastic firmness of the globe.” — Charles E Montague, 1867

“The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.” — Brian Greene
