We learn in school that this lovely Earth of ours is round. We learn it and we know it. But we don’t feel it. Furthermore we learned that the Earth moves through space, spinning around and circling the sun. We learn it and we know it. But do we really know it? No! The intellect knows it. But our hearts don’t know it at all. Only someone who feels it in his bones when he rides in the woods or battles an enemy or embraces a woman or plucks a delicate flower... only he who feels deep within that everything here is taking place on one little star out of countless millions on a tiny, eternally orbiting globe on a carousel ride around a glowing sun through the beautiful seasons and the dreadful centuries... only someone who senses this at every moment is truly human... The rest is just mammals walking around on two legs.” - Josef von Báky
