"This is a time when we are hungry to know more. Our stomachs are full and we wonder if our souls are empty. We hope for truth, we long for wisdom. When we can understand the most basic processes by which homo sapiens adapts something in us relaxes and we begin to stretch our imagination as well as our spirit."
