[net.space] H. G. Wells and the Tao

In one nights reading I came across the following two quotes, both of which
made me think of the space-o-philes of this news group.

The past is but the beginning of the beginning,
and all that is and has been, is 
but the twilight of the dawn ...
There will come a day when beings now latent
in our thoughts and hidden in our loins
shall stand upon this Earth as one stands
upon a footstool and laugh and reach out
their hands amid the stars.

     H. G. Wells


The universe is sacred.
You cannot improve it.
If you try to change it, you will ruin it.
If you try to hold it, you will lose it.

     Tao Te Ching
