Few things capture a thought, feeling, or moment better than a quote or a picture, so this homepage is composed of such.

Mark Twain: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Robert Frost: I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Robert Louis Stevenson: We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.

Henry Miller: The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

Isaiah Berlin: Only barbarians are not curious about where they come from, how they came to be where they are, where they appear to be going, whether they wish to go there, and if so, why, and if not, why not.

Anne Frank: The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

John Muir: Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you...while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

Helen Keller: The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.

Oscar Hammerstein, II: Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I am beautiful because you love me?

Chinese proverb: When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.

John Keats: A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
