Wonder Quotes

What is it, I wonder, that makes two people suddenly become important to each other? So important that everything else around them just fades away? Picture Quote #1

We should indeed keep calm in the face of difference, and live our lives in a state of inclusion and wonder at the diversity of humanity Picture Quote #1

We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars, now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt Picture Quote #1

It’s essential that a part of you not grow up. Childhood wonder gives us our spark and beauty Picture Quote #1

I wonder how one can hate to love and love to hate the same person over a period of time in a relationship Picture Quote #1

Concepts create idols; only wonder comprehends anything. People kill one another over idols. Wonder makes us fall to our knees Picture Quote #1

We tend to idealize tolerance, then wonder why we find ourselves infested with losers and nut cases Picture Quote #1

You may wonder why a question of manners has got me so exercised. It’s because I believe in a simple rule. If you see a person you know behave unreasonably to someone else, you can bet your last pound that before long he’ll be behaving like that to you Picture Quote #1

I wonder sometimes if I’m the only one spending my life making the same mistake over and over again or if that’s simply human. Do we all tend toward a single besetting sin? Picture Quote #1

We look so very different from the way we sound. It’s a shock, similar to hearing your own voice for the first time, when you’re forced to wonder how the rest of you comes across if you sound nothing like the way you think you sound. You feel dislodged from the old shoe of yourself Picture Quote #1

We live on a minute island of known things. Our undiminished wonder at the mystery which surrounds us is what makes us human. In science fiction we can approach that mystery, not in small, everyday symbols, but in bigger ones of space and time Picture Quote #1

Today, when so much seems to conspire to reduce life and feeling to the most deprived and demeaning bottom line, it is more important than ever that we receive that extra dimension of dignity or delight and the elevated sense of self that the art of building can provide through the nature of the places where we live and work. What counts more than style is whether architecture improves our experience of the built world; whether it makes us wonder why we never noticed places in quite this way before Picture Quote #1

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder. You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger. May you never take one single breath for granted. God forbid love ever leave you empty handed Picture Quote #1

In the broad light of day mathematicians check their equations and their proofs, leaving no stone unturned in their search for rigour. But, at night, under the full moon, they dream, they float among the stars and wonder at the miracle of the heavens. They are inspired. Without dreams there is no art, no mathematics, no life Picture Quote #1

Wilderness itself is the basis of all our civilization. I wonder if we have enough reverence for life to concede to wilderness the right to live on? Picture Quote #1

The more I fly, the more I’m convinced that the true wonder of modern aviation is the transformation of tasteless particles into something known as airplane food Picture Quote #1

Lucky accidents seldom happen to writers who don’t work. You will find that you may rewrite and rewrite a poem and it never seems quite right. Then a much better poem may come rather fast and you wonder why you bothered with all that work on the earlier poem. Actually, the hard work you do on one poem is put in on all poems. The hard work on the first poem is responsible for the sudden ease of the second. If you just sit around waiting for the easy ones, nothing will come. Get to work Picture Quote #1

The special life is where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, the natural becomes miraculous, the everyday becomes unique. Finding the magic and wonder within nature is the most assured means by which children rediscover the joy of life Picture Quote #1

The idea of a library full of books, the books full of knowledge, fills me with fear and love and courage and endless wonder Picture Quote #1

I’m a frotteur, someone who likes to rub words in his hand, to turn them around and feel them, to wonder if that really is the best word possible Picture Quote #1

Read about some squirrelly guy who claims that he just don’t believe in fighting, and I wonder how long the rest of us can count on being free Picture Quote #1

The life we’ve been leading couldn’t last forever. It’s a wonder it lasted as long as it did Picture Quote #1

Ever wonder why people are so determined to reach for white picket fences, supposed normalcy, a nuclear family? Well, try growing up without one Picture Quote #1

Suspend for a moment your disbelief and encounter once again the sense of wonder you knew when there was... magic! Picture Quote #1

The art of a magician is to create wonder. If we live with a sense of wonder, our lives become filled with joy Picture Quote #1

When things get too complicated, it sometimes makes sense to stop and wonder: Have I asked the right question? Picture Quote #1

Youth is when you think you’ll live forever. Old age is when you wonder how you’ve lived so long Picture Quote #1

I wonder, only in passing, whether the indelible ornamentation that man inscribes upon his own epidermis does not respond to a nostalgia for the universal internally generated coloring of corrollas, furs, shells, carapaces and wings. For man it has been necessary to create both works and tools outside of himself. But it may be that he retains an obscure nostalgia to create them on his own body, to make them a part of it rather than projecting them outwards onto an independent surface, where he is free to retouch them as he sees fit, which is precisely what painting and art are Picture Quote #1

Amazingly, we take for granted that instinct for survival, fear of death, must separate us from the happiness of pure and uninterpreted experience, in which body, mind, and nature are the same. This retreat from wonder, the backing away like lobsters into safe crannies, the desperate instinct that our life passes unlived, is reflected in proliferation without joy, corrosive money rot, the gross befouling of the earth and air and water from which we came Picture Quote #1

The idea of the past is as useless as the idea of the future. Both could be invoked by anybody about anything. There is never any more beauty than there is now. There is no more joy or wonder or sorrow than there is now, nor perfection, nor any more evil nor any more good than there is now Picture Quote #1
