Diane Ackerman
» Country » “It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.”
» Life and Living » “I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.”
» Love » “Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is.”
» Poetry and Poets » “A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.”
» Senses » “There is no way in which to understand the world without first detecting it through the radar-net of our senses.”
» Senses » “We live on the leash of our senses.”
