"To live and not to know why the cranes fly, why children are born, why the stars are in the sky. Either you know why you're alive or it's all nonsense, it's all dust in the wind." by Chekhov . Wow :)
I'm sure it even sounds/feels even better in Russian! I'm sure I've read it too at some stage, but somehow it didn't have such an impact as I feel now - and funny thing is I just read it in: "The Making of a Fly: the genetics of animal design".... after hearing about the book watching a TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/ kevin_slavin_how_algorithms_ shape_our_world.html.
Hmmm....but for now...back to CryoSat :)
