The number of fixed stars which observers have been able to see without artificial powers of sight up to this day can be counted.

stars rocks hands
Have felt it myself. The glitter of nuclear weapons. It is irresistible if you come to them as a scientist.

It is something that gives people an illusion of illimitable power and it is, in some ways, responsible for all our troubles - this, what you might call technical arrogance, that overcomes people when they see what they can do with their minds. Freeman Dyson

The music enchanted the air. It was like the south wind, like a warm night, like swelling sails beneath the stars, completely and utterly unreal...

Eric Carle

Harrison Ford
