—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Is that dance slowing in the mind of man
That made him think the universe could hum?”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
