&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This world and all our powers in it are far more awful and beautiful than even we know until some accident reminds us. If you wish to perceive that limitless felicity, limit yourself if only for a moment. If you wish to realise how fearfully and wonderfully God’s image is made, stand on one leg. If you want to realise the splendid vision of all visible things—wink the other eye.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;—G. K. Chesterton, &lt;em&gt;Tremendous Trifles&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If we had been made directly from clay, the way it says in the Bible, and had therefore inherited no intermediate characteristics —if a god, or some principle of growth, had gone that way to work with us, he or it might have molded us into much more splendid forms.  But considering our simian descent, it has done very well.  The only people who are disappointed in us are those who still believe that clay story.  Or who—unconsciously—still let it color their thinking.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
