Dawkins Quote

The feel­ing of awed won­der that sci­ence can give us is one of the high­est expe­ri­ences of which the human psy­che is capa­ble. It is a deep aes­thet­ic pas­sion to rank with the finest that music and poet­ry can deliv­er. It is tru­ly one of the things that make life worth liv­ing and it does so, if any­thing, more effec­tive­ly if it con­vinces us that the time we have for liv­ing it is finite.
–Richard Dawkins, -Unweav­ing the Rainbow
