If
Only
“If I had
influence with the
good fairy , who is
supposed to preside
over the christening of all
children , I should ask that
her gift to each child in the
world be a sense of wonder
so indestructible that it
would last throughout life,
as an unfailing antidote
against the boredom
and disenchantment
of later years, the
sterile preoccupation
with things artificial, and the alienation
from the sources of our strength.”
~ Rachel Carson,
The Sense of Wonder
