It is only a barbarous mind that sees other than the flower, merely an animal mind that dreams of other than the moon.

About This Quote

I am not a barbarian. I want to be more than just an animal mind. I want to dream of other than the moon. I want to think of something greater than what we see with our own eyes. I want to know the sky and the stars and the mystery of space and all of the wonders that can only be seen from up so high.
