“In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.”
Ansel Adams
“After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.”
Richard Dawkins
“Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.”
Walter Benjamin
“I've devoted almost all my time in the last five years to my Atlas of Lunar Exploration, which is in the final stages now.”
Philip Stooke
“Curiosity is the essence of human existence and exploration has been part of humankind for a long time. The exploration of space, like the exploration of life, if you will, is a risk. We've got to be willing to take it.”
Gene Cernan
“Investment in exploration is almost non-existent. Meanwhile, all the discovered deposits will be depleted in time.”
