• El gran asunto, el asunto de amor con la vida,
  es vivir tan diversamente como sea posible,
  acicalar la curiosidad como un pura sangre de gran espíritu,
  subir a bordo y galopar cada día sobre las colinas espesas y bañadas por el sol.
  Donde no hay riesgo, el terreno emocional es llano e inflexible,
  y, a pesar de todas sus dimensiones, valles, pináculos y desvíos,
  la vida parecerá no tener nada de su magnífica geografía, sólo una longitud.
  Comenzó en el misterio, y terminará en el misterio,
  pero qué salvaje y hermoso país se encuentra en el medio.

• Shaped a little like a loaf of French country bread, our brain is a crowded chemistry lab, bustling with nonstop neural conversations.Imagine the brain, that shiny mound of being, that mouse-gray parliament of cells, that dream factory, that petit tyrant inside a ball of bone, that huddle of neurons calling all the plays, that little everywhere, that fickle pleasuredome, that wrinkled wardrobe of selves stuffed into the skull like too many clothes into a gym bag.

• Though most of us don't hunt, our eyes are still the great monopolists of our senses. To taste or touch your enemy or your food, you have to be unnervingly close to it. To smell or hear it, you can risk being further off. But vision can rush through the fields and up the mountains, travel across time, country, and parsecs of outer space, and collect bushel baskets of information as it goes. Animals that hear high frequencies better than we do
