“You never enjoy the world aright until the sea itself flows in your veins, until you are clothed with the skies and crowned with the stars; and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you.
Till you are intimately acquainted with that shady nothing out of which the world came; till you love men so as to desire their happiness with a thirst equal to the zeal of your own; till you remember how lately you were born, and how wonderful it was when you came into it; you never enjoy the world.”
-Thomas Traherne
