When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.

A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.

As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

I wonder if we will become okay again. I hope for it.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
