Quotes about Awe

Third, it can mean deep, wondering reverence, or "awe" at something immeasurably superior.

If one loves nature one finds beauty everywhere.

You have to make time, even for something as universal as staring at the stars.

The truth is that the sole reason we don't see the world all around us as magic is that we are jaded, too cool for the school of wonder.

Let him who is about to accuse God consider the greatness of the God accused.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and 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
