Cool, i've just found some quotes about vast/vastness. "For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love." - Carl Sagan "Who among us has never looked up into the heavens on a starlit night, lost in wonder at the vastness of space and the beauty of the stars? " - Jeb Bush and one for good measure. "Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and the wonder surrounding him. " - Ansel Adams
