I've always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us, the control over the world that that can render (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
People's dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It's what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
