Planets Quotes - Page 22

• This moment, this being, is the thing. My life is all life in little. The moon, the planets, pass around my heart. The sun, now hidden by the round bulk of this earth, shines into me, and in me as well.

A puff of dust, or a brief coughing spell, with emptiness and silence to follow.

  Alexander Eliot
