Thoughtful Thursday: That Time and Space

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
Emerson



Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.
John Steinbeck

Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.
Tagore



The true scientific mind is not to be tied down by its own conditions of time and space. It builds itself an observatory erected upon the border line of present, which separates the infinite past from the infinite future. From this sure post it makes its sallies even to the beginning and to the end of all things.
Sir Conan Doyle


For a moment of night we have a glimpse of ourselves and of our world island in a stream of stars - pilgrims of mortality, voyaging between horizons across the eternal seas of space and time
Beston


A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein



The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.
Galileo



Be humble for you are made of earth.
Be noble for you are made of stars.
Proverb
