„The more real you get the more unreal the world gets.“

„There is one term of the problem which you are not taking into account: precisely, the world. The real. You say: the real, the world as it is. But it is not, it becomes! It moves, it changes! It doesn’t wait for us to change... It is more mobile than you can imagine. You are getting closer to this reality when you say as it 'presents itself'; that means that it is not there, existing as an object. The world, the real is not an object. It is a process.“
— John Cage
„The world is a globe — the farther you sail, the closer to home you are.“
— Terry Pratchett
„The living inhabitation of the world — the grazing and nesting in it, — the spiritual power of the air, the rocks, the waters, to be in the midst of it, and rejoice and wonder at it, and help it if I could, — happier if it needed no help of mine, — this was the essential love of Nature in me, this the root of all that I have usefully become, and the light of all that I have rightly learned.“
— John Ruskin
„You darkness, that I come from, I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world.“
— Rainer Maria Rilke
