dandelions

If God had wanted me otherwise,
He would have created me otherwise.
~Johann von Goethe

There lurks, perhaps, in every human heart
a desire of distinction, 
which inclines every man first to hope,
and then to believe,
that Nature has given him
something peculiar to himself.
~Samuel Johnson

"The miracles of nature 
do not seem miracles
because they are so common.
If no one had ever seen a flower,
even a dandelion would 
be the most startling 
event in the world."
