Mark Twain

To be worth making at all a journey has to be made in the mind as much as in the world of objects and dimensions. What value can there be in seeing or experiencing anything for the first time unless it comes as a revelation?

What difference can it make otherwise to see a redwood tree, a tiger, or a humming bird?

Ted Simon, Jupiter
