• This planet is not terra firma. It is a delicate flower and it must be cared for. It's lonely. It's small. It's isolated, and there is no resupply. And we are mistreating it. Clearly, the highest loyalty we should have is not to our own country or our own religion or our hometown or even to ourselves. It should be to, number two, the family of man, and number one, the planet at large. This is our home, and this is all we've got.

  Scott Carpenter

• Oft in the silence of the night,
  When the lonely moon rides high,
  When wintry winds are whistling,
  And we hear the owl's shrill cry,
  In the quiet, dusky chamber,
  By the flickering firelight,
  Rising up between two sleepers,
  Comes a spirit all in white.
