Bump for Chuck Darwin.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -- Robert Anson Heinlein
What an absolutely GREAT quote!
Here's another:
Butterflies … not quite birds, as they were not quite flowers, mysterious and fascinating as are all indeterminate creatures.
Elizabeth Goudge The Child from the Sea
And another:
when god decided to invent
everything he took one
breath bigger than a circustent
and everything began
e. e. cummings when god decided to invent.
