“Travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” — Pico Iyer I cannot imaging anyone looking at the sky and denying God. — Abraham Lincoln. Man must rise above the Earth—to the top of the atmosphere and beyond—for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives. — Socrates We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing. Similarly, we ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the heavens. . .The diversity of the phenomena of Nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment. — Johannes Kepler The last of the lonely places is the sky, a trackless void where nothing lives or grows, and above it, space itself. Man may have been destined to walk upon ice or sand, or climb the mountains or take craft upon the sea. But surely he was never meant to fly? But he does, and finding out how to do it was his last great adventure. — Frederick Forsyth Our greatest aspiration is not to reach the highest mountain, not to travel the farthest, not to fly the highest sky, not to build the tallest building, not to own the most expensive car, or not to make the most money...our greatest aspiration is the greatest love we can give to others, for doing so we will reach the closest to our soul, feel the highest senses, reflect our noblest thoughts. No one has learned the true meaning of living until he surrenders his ego to the service of his fellow men — Thomas S. Monson
