“For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive.”
D.H. Lawrence 1885-1930

After Light

"Why is it called 'after dark' when it really is 'after light'?"
George Carlin 1937-2008

Be

“If you want to be happy, be.”
Leo Tolstoy 1828-1910

A smile helps.

“I didn't write the rules — why should I follow them?”
W. Eugene Smith 1918-1978

“Architecture is inhabited sculpture.”
Constantin Brancusi 1876-1957

“If you can relax without liquor, if you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
then you are almost as good as your dog.”
Unknown

Light

“To love beauty is to see light.”
Victor Hugo 1802-1885
