Abraham Joshua Heschel
Wonder rather than doubt is the root of knowledge.
Albert Einstein
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

Author: Thomas Carlyle
Wonder is the basis of worship.
Bette Davis The Lonely Life
Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation.
Beverly Nichols The Fool Hath Said
Every moment of this strange and lovely life from dawn to dusk, is a miracle. Somewhere, always a rose is opening its petals to the dawn. Somewhere, always, a flower is fading in the dusk.
Eden Phillpots in The World within the World by Barrow
The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
Ervin Laszlo
The search for meaning is not limited to science: it is constant and continuous--all of us engage in it during all our waking hours the search continues even in our dreams. There are many ways of finding meaning, and there are no absolute boundaries separating them. One can find meaning in poetry as well as in science in the contemplations of a flower as well as in the grasp of an equation. We can be filled with wonder as we stand under the majestic dome of the night sky and see the myriad lights that twinkle and shine in its seemingly infinite depths. We can also be filled wit awe as we behold the meaning of the formulae that define the propagation of light in space, the formation of galaxies, the synthesis of chemical elements, and the relation of energy, mass and velocity in the physical universe. The mystical perception of oneness and the religious intuition of a Divine intelligence are as much a construction of meaning as the postulation of the universal law of gravitation.
Eugene Ionesco
Childhood is the world of miracle and wonder; as if creation rose, bathed in the light, out of the darkness, utterly new and fresh and astonishing. The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us.
George Bernard Shaw preface to Androcles and the Lion
Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The world will never starve for want of wonders, but for want of wonder.
Helen Keller The Story of My Life
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
Henry Miller
The moment one gives a close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world unto itself.
Israel Baal Shem
The world is full of wonders and miracles but man takes his little hand and covers his eyes and sees nothing.
Jimmy Carter An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections
Wherever life takes us, there are always moments of wonder.
