“We do not inherit the land from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children.”
~Native American Proverb
SANDMAN - Neil Gaiman
“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds.
Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.”

not an attribute of information.” — Edward Tufte, Beautiful Evidence

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right, if I surrender to His will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.” —

“I had an early run in the woods before the dew was off the grass.
the moss was like velvet, and as I ran under the arches of yellow and red leaves I sang for joy, my heart was so bright and the world so beautiful. …
a very strange and solemn feeling came over me as I stood there, with no sound but the rustle of the pines, no one near me, and the sun so glorious as for me alone.
it seemed as if I felt God as I never did before, and I prayed in my heart that I might keep that happy sense of nearness all my life.” —
