- We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love.

- John Muir (1838 - 1914), Badè's Life and Letters of John Muir: June 9, 1872 letter to Miss Catharine Merrill, from New Sentinel Hotel, Yosemite Valley
- Fresh beauty opens one's eyes wherever it is really seen, but the very abundance and completeness of the common beauty that besets our steps prevents its being absorbed and appreciated. It is a good thing, therefore, to make short excursions now and then to the bottom of the sea among dulse and coral, or up among the clouds on mountain-tops, or in balloons, or even to creep like worms into dark holes and caverns underground, not only to learn something of what is going on in those out-of-the-way places, but to see better what the sun sees on our return to common everyday beauty.
- John Muir (1838 - 1914), My First Summer in the Sierra, 1911

- Felicia Day, The Washington Post, 04-03-12
- There is no glory in the tepid smiles of the thousands. It is better to have the uproarious laughter of the hundreds.
- Monica Hesse, The Washington Post, 04-03-12

- There is one person in charge of every office in America and that person is Charles Darwin.
- Charlie Grandy, The Office, Get the Girl, March 2012
- Just because this isn't in your life plan doesn't mean this isn't exactly where you're supposed to be.
