![“We [humans] are the only creatures who are in-between. We're of the earth, but don't belong to it, because we strain after the heavens; and yet the heavens aren't full in us. So this wonderful, restless, eternal longing in us has us always on a quest.” quote by John O'Donohue](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e8d/john-o-donohue-1919_creatures_we-humans-are-the-only-creatures-who-are_274213.jpg)
