• Everything is so fragile. There's so much conflict, so much pain... You keep waiting for the dust to settle and then you realize this is it; the dust is your life going on. If happy comes along - that weird, unbearable delight that's actual happy - I think you have to grab it while you can. You take what you can get, 'cause it's here, and then... gone.

  Joss Whedon

• I'm not for pretending that bad stuff doesn't exist, and a passion for justice and truth is a libertarian trait. But the idea of liberty should also reveal new forms of beauty in the world, astonishing evidence of order without dictate, lovely examples of innovation without planning, and other magical things. Surely these deserve some attention too.

• A year after One Thousand Gifts had released, Kathie Lee Gifford of the Today Show, named it one of her favorite things - the gift that will radically change your life. She shared the title with PEOPLE magazine as one of favorite books - quite astonishing for an evangelical Christian book.

• It is very difficult in quarreling to be certain in either one what the other one is remembering. It is very often astonishing to each one quarreling to find out what the other one was remembering for quarreling. Mostly in quarreling not any one is finding out what the other one is remembering for quarreling, what the other one is remembering from quarreling.

• Lo único que hizo la televisión fue reducir la demanda de películas ordinarias. La demanda de películas extraordinarias aumentó. Si hay algo que falla en la industria cinematográfica actual es el esfuerzo incesante por asombrar.

• Los costes de la ignorancia de la ciencia no son sólo prácticos, como políticas equivocadas, curas olvidadas y un desarme unilateral de la competitividad nacional. También hay un coste moral. Es un hecho asombroso de nuestra especie que entendamos tanto sobre la historia del universo, las fuerzas que lo hacen funcionar, de qué está hecho, el origen de los seres vivos y la maquinaria de la vida. No cultivar estos conocimientos demuestra una indiferencia filistea ante los magníficos logros de que es capaz la humanidad; es como dejar que una gran obra de arte se pudra en un almacén.

• Si todas las células y fibras de un cerebro humano estuvieran extendidas de punta a punta, sin duda llegarían hasta la Luna y volverían. Sin embargo, el hecho de que no estén dispuestas de punta a punta ha permitido al hombre llegar hasta allí por sí mismo. La asombrosa maraña de nuestras cabezas nos convierte en lo que somos.

• MEMRI allows an audience far beyond the Arabic-speaking world to observe the wide variety of Arab voices speaking through the media, schoolbooks, and pulpits to their own people. What one hears is often astonishing, sometimes frightening, and always important. Most importantly, it includes the newly-emerging liberal voices of reform and hope, as well as disturbing echoes of ancient hatreds. Without the valuable research of MEMRI, the non-Arabic speaking world would not have this indispensable window.

• One way to begin to see how vastly indulgent we usually are is to fast. It is a long day that is not broken by the usual three meals. One finds out what an astonishing amount of time is spent in the planning, purchasing, preparing, eating, and cleaning up of meals.

• Viewed from the distance of the moon, the astonishing thing about the earth, catching the breath, is that it is alive. The photographs show the dry, pounded surface of the moon in the foreground, dry as an old bone. Aloft, floating free beneath the moist, gleaming, membrane of bright blue sky, is the rising earth, the only exuberant thing in this part of the cosmos.
