Space

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with all other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.
- John Muir, 1838 - 1914

But now I have learned to listen to silence. To hear its choirs singing the song of ages, chanting the hymns of space, and disclosing the secrets of eternity.
- Kahlil Gibran, 1883 - 1931

The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.
- Pascal, Pensees

The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.

- Freeman Dyson

Every cubic inch of space is a miracle
- Walt Whitman, 1819 - 1892
