The only and absolute perfect union of two is when a baby hangs suspended in its mother’s womb, like a tiny madman in a padded cell, attached to her, feeling her blood and hormones, and moods play through its body, feeling her feelings (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Adventure is not something you travel to find. It’s something you take with you, or you’re not going to find it when you arrive (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
If cynicism is inevitable as one ages, so is the yearning for innocence. To children heaven is being an adult, and to adults heaven is being children again (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
I like handling newborn animals. Fallen into life from an unmappable world, they are the ultimate immigrants, full of wonder and confusion (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Not much is known about alligators. They don’t train well. And they’re unwieldy and rowdy to work with in laboratories (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
One of the things I like best about animals in the wild is that they’re always off on some errand. They have appointments to keep. It’s only we humans who wonder what we’re here for (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Habit, a particularly insidious thug who chokes passion and smothers love. Habit puts us on autopilot (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Our sense of safety depends on predictability, so anything living outside the usual rules we suspect to be an outlaw, a ghoul (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Because poets feel what we’re afraid to feel, venture where we’re reluctant to go, we learn from their journeys without taking the same dramatic risks (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Poetry is an act of distillation. It takes contingency samples, is selective. It telescopes time. It focuses what most often floods past us in a polite blur (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Wonder is a bulky emotion. When you let it fill your heart and mind, there isn’t room for anxiety, distress or anything else (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
... love is an act of sedition, a revolt against reason, an uprising in the body politic, a private mutiny (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
The senses don’t just make sense of life in bold or subtle acts of clarity, they tear reality apart into vibrant morsels and reassemble them into a meaningful pattern (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
As fleeting emotions stalk it, a face can leak fear or the guilt of a forming lie (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
There is a furnace in our cells, and when we breathe we pass the world through our bodies, brew it lightly, and turn it loose again, gently altered for having known us (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Who you are isn’t tied solely to what you say, even though it may feel that way to you now (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Look at your feet. You are standing in the sky. When we think of the sky, we tend to look up, but the sky actually begins at the earth (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
To begin to understand the gorgeous fever that is consciousness, we must try to understand the senses and what they can tell us about the ravishing world we have the privilege to inhabit (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table. Even a tiny fleck of it stops time (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Of all the errands life seems to be running, of all the mysteries that enchant us, love is my favorite (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
For me, life offers so many complexly appealing moments that two beautiful objects may be equally beautiful for different reasons and at different times. How can one choose? (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Love is like a batik created from many emotional colors, it is a fabric whose pattern and brightness may vary (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
Which is crueler, an old man’s lost memories of a life lived, or a young man’s lost memories of the life he meant to live? (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
I swear I will not dishonor my soul with hatred, but offer myself humbly as a guardian of nature, as a healer of misery, as a messenger of wonder, as an architect of peace (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
There is a way of beholding nature which is a form of prayer, a way of minding something with such clarity and aliveness that the rest of the world recedes. It... gives the brain a small vacation (Diane Ackerman Quotes)
