I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man
if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature
and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.

“When my wife’s Aunt Caroline was in her nineties,
she lived with us, and she once remarked:

‘Remembrance is sufficient of the beauty we have seen.’

I cherish the remembrance of the beauty I have seen.
I cherish the grave, compulsive word.”

— E. B. White
