“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.”

Quote of the Day
Here's a nice line from the great scientist and writer Rachel Carson (1907-1964) that I can certainly go along with:
“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.”
“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.”

This is my favorite quote from Ms. Carson. I enjoyed her books about the sea, but never got far in Silent Spring.
