• In this world you've a soul for a compass
  And a heart for a pair of wings
  There's a star on the far horizon
  Rising bright in an azure sky
  For the rest of the time that you're given
  Why walk when you can fly?

  Mary Chapin Carpenter

  Song: Why Walk When You Can Fly?, 1994

• We're handing them [young people & future generations] a climate system which is potentially out of their control. We're in an emergency: you can see what's on the horizon over the next few decades with the effects it will have on ecosystems, sea level and species extinction

• The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This 'outgrowing', as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person's horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency.

• Puesto que el arte es una virtud del intelecto, exige comunicarse con todo el universo del intelecto. De ahí que el clima normal del arte sea la inteligencia y el conocimiento: su suelo normal, la herencia civilizada de un sistema coherente e integrado de creencias y valores; su horizonte normal, la infinitud de la experiencia humana iluminada por la perspicacia apasionada de la angustia o las virtudes intelectuales de una mente contemplativa.

  Jacques Maritain

• Una obra de arte puede calificarse de revolucionaria si, en virtud de la transformación estética, representa, en el destino ejemplar de los individuos, la falta de libertad imperante y las fuerzas rebeldes, rompiendo así la realidad social mistificada (y petrificada) y abriendo el horizonte del cambio (la liberación).

• Pertenezco a esa generación que, como estudiantes, tenían ante sus ojos, y estaban limitados por, un horizonte formado por el marxismo, la fenomenología y el existencialismo. Para mí, la ruptura fue primero Esperando a Godot, de Beckett, un espectáculo sobrecogedor.

• Qué belleza. Vi nubes y sus ligeras sombras sobre la lejana y querida tierra.... El agua parecía manchas oscuras y ligeramente brillantes.... Cuando observé el horizonte, vi la transición abrupta y contrastante de la superficie de color claro de la tierra al cielo absolutamente negro. Disfruté del rico espectro de colores de la Tierra. Está rodeada por una aureola azul claro que se oscurece gradualmente, convirtiéndose en turquesa, azul oscuro, violeta y, finalmente, negro carbón.

  Yuri Gagarin

• The best we can hope for in this life is a knothole peek at the shining realities ahead. Yet a glimpse is enough. It's enough to convince our hearts that whatever sufferings and sorrow currently assail us aren't worthy of comparison to that which waits over the horizon.

• Now is not the time to shrink from the challenge of saving our only home in the universe. Now is not the time to pull into ourselves, retreating into either survivalist or escapist mode. To the contrary, this is the time for titans, not turtles. Now is the time to open our arms, expand our horizons, and dream big. Big problems require big solutions.

• Los amigos amplían nuestros horizontes. Nos sirven de nuevos modelos con los que identificarnos. Nos permiten ser nosotros mismos y nos aceptan así. Aumentan nuestra autoestima porque creen que estamos bien, porque les importamos. Y como nos importan -por diversas razones, con distintos niveles de intensidad- enriquecen la calidad de nuestra vida emocional.

• No hay razón para suponer que mi idea de lo que es mejor sea realmente mejor. Me molesta que otras personas intenten imponerme sus ideas de lo que es mejor. No creo que sepan. Y no veo ninguna autoridad en el horizonte que tenga respuestas que parezcan valer la pena. La mayoría de las cosas que se sugieren son probablemente perjudiciales para tu salud mental.

• Whatever form it takes, camping is earthy, soul enriching and character building, and there can be few such satisfying moments as having your tent pitched and the smoke rising from your campfire as the golden sun sets on the horizon--even if it's just for a fleeting moment before the rain spoils everything.

• A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east.

• To know that no one before you has seen an organ you are examining, to trace relationships that have occurred to no one before, to immerse yourself in the wondrous crystalline world of the microscope, where silence reigns, circumscribed by its own horizon, a blindingly white arena - all this is so enticing that I cannot describe it.

• The solitary ascent of the Dru had the immediate effect of expanding the horizons of my ideas about mountaineering. It made me aware of possibilities well in advance of the times, which were characterized by very restricted methods. This was how the superb pyramid of K2 surfaced once more in the list of my projects. But I chose K2 as a way for giving concrete form to my new concept of mountaineering: to climb the second highest mountain in the world solo, alpine style, and without oxygen.
