Angelina JolieTrying to understand the way nature works involves a most terrible test of human reasoning ability.

The quantum mechanical and the relativity ideas are examples of this.

Leonardo da VinciBeauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.

ChanakyaNature is wont to hide herself.
HeraclitusI could have spent eight years doing anything, and at some level, it would have been fine. I could have focused on flowers. I could have focused on decor. I could have focused on entertainment. Because any First Lady, rightfully, gets to define her role. There’s no legislative authority; you’re not elected. And that’s a wonderful gift of freedom.
Michelle ObamaEvery natural object is a conductor of divinity and only by coming into contact with them… may we be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Keanu ReevesExperience is one thing you can’t get for nothing.

John MuirI read the Bible to myself; I’ll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.

Joyce MeyerThe earth laughs in flowers.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature are shot down wholesale.
Hermann HesseWe’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.
John LennonAnd forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
