What have we been doing all these centuries but trying to call God back to the mountain, or, failing that, raise a peep out of anything that isn't us? What is the difference between a cathedral and a physics lab? Are not they both saying: Hello? We spy on whales and on interstellar radio objects; we starve ourselves and pray till we're blue. ✨ Annie Dillard (2016). Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters, p.66, Canongate Books
