• The Life we have is very great.
  The Life that we shall see
  Surpasses it, we know, because
  It is Infinity,
  But when all Space has been beheld
  And all Dominion shown
  The smallest Human Heart's extent
  Reduces it to none.

  Emily Dickinson

• A star is beautiful; it affords pleasure, not from what it is to do, or to give, but simply by being what it is. It befits the heavens; it has congruity with the mighty space in which it dwells. It has repose; no force disturbs its eternal peace. It has freedom; no obstruction lies between it and infinity.

  Thomas Carlyle

  Beautiful, Stars, Lying

• There is nothing so charming as the knowledge of literature; of that branch of literature, I mean, which enables us to discover the infinity of things, the immensity of Nature, the heavens, the earth, and the seas; this is that branch which has taught us religion, moderation, magnanimity, and that has rescued the soul from obscurity; to make her see all things above and below, first and last, and between both; it is this that furnishes us wherewith to live well and happily, and guides us to pass our lives without displeasure and without offence.

  Marcus Tullius Cicero

  Knowledge, Mean, Sea
