FAVORITE QUOTES REMEMBERED

"We can have it many more than both ways (Margaret Mead).”

"We know time and we know that everything is really fine." Then he whispered, clutching my sleeve, sweating, "now you just dig them in front. They have worries, they're counting the miles, they're thinking about where to sleep tonight, how much money for gas, the weather, how they'll get there- and all the time they'll get there anyway, you see. But they need to worry and betray time with urgencies false and otherwise, purely anxious and whiny. Their souls really won't be at peace unless they can latch on to an established and proven worry and having found it they assume facial expressions to fit and go with it, which is, you see, unhappiness, and all the time it all flies by them and they know it and that too worries them no end (Kerouac).”

“God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity in the cloud, the oil in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gives to man the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of finished things. He leaves the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys and glories of creation (Thomas S. Monson).

"I live not in dreams, but in constant contemplation of a reality which is perhaps the future (Rainer Maria Rilke).”

“After the thaw, build a shelter of light and air.”
