life will seem to have none of its magnificent geography, only a length.
It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery,
but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.” ~ Diane Ackerman - “Here’s what my love affair with quotations has taught me: the more you focus on words that uplift you, the more you embody the ideas contained in those words.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

Only a tiny fraction of this abundance affects our minds. This is a blessing, not a drawback.” ~ Paul Feyerabend
