A quote from Dr. Zhivago

I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them.


Doctor Zhivago

Love is the mother of poetry

To follow our pleasant discussion about the necessity of poetry with Sue a while ago here is a piece from the film “How the West was Won.”

Linus is a man who has spent his whole life in forests with bears and beasts, but when the time comes even he has to resort to poetry to reveal his love for a girl. Just see:

"Eve... Eve, you make me feel like a man standing on a narrow ledge... ...comin' face to face with a grizzly bear. There just ain't no ignorin' the situation."

A beautiful quote

With many thanks to Sue and her son: "In Wildness is the preservation of the world."

A beautiful quote from Thoreau

Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.

Henry David Thoreau
US Transcendentalist author (1817 - 1862)
