Mr. Arnold MacLeish_Quoted
June 11, 2008While I was killing time working as part of the secretariat during our event, I found an astronaut in a glass case. A real replica of a moon man. And written above him (it) was this:
" To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold — brothers who know now they are truly brothers."
It may sound like one of those quotes that make you warm and fuzzy, but I think it brings more than the giddiness. It tells you that man is never alone. The world will always grow more weary by the day, but that doesn’t stop anyone from finding strength in the person beside him.
