Bertrand RussellWe never look deeply into the quality of a tree; we never really touch it, feel its solidity, its rough bark, and hear the sound that is part of the tree.

Alexander HamiltonA friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Jim CarreyPeople say I look so happy – and I say, ‚That’s the Botox.‘

George W. BushTruths and roses have thorns about them.

Henry David ThoreauYou’ve got to invest in the world, you’ve got to read, you’ve got to go to art galleries, you’ve got to find out the names of plants. You’ve got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We’re amazing people.

Maya AngelouWhen we go out to the country and just sit there, what we’re really doing is just switching off various kinds of alertness that we don’t have to use.

Muhammad AliIt is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.
Edgar Allan PoeThe artist part of me always wants to be appreciated. I read every review. But I never wanted to seek validation by awards or anything controlled by politics.
Nipsey HussleIs it not important to find out how to listen not only to what is being said but to everything – to the noise in the streets, to the chatter of birds, to the noise of the tramcar, to the restless sea, to the voice of your husband, to your wife, to your friends, to the cry of a baby?
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
Vincent Van Gogh
