“We can never sneer at the stars, mock the dawn or scoff at the totality of being. Sublime grandeur evokes unhesitating, unflinching awe. Away from the immense, cloistered in our own concepts, we may scorn and revile everything.
But standing between earth and sky, we are silenced by the sight…”
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, as found in I Asked for Wonder: A Spiritual Anthology, ed. by Samuel H. Dresner
