“ Fine architecture is man’s tribute to the land it has been built on. So are the untouched, pristine lands he preserves for posterity. ”
― Tom Baldwin, Macom Farm

Tom Hiddleston
“ It’s in our nature to want to watch our human frailties played out on a huge, epic canvas. Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama: fathers and sons, star-crossed lovers, warring brothers, martyred heroes. Tales that taught us the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility. It’s the everyday stuff of everyman’s life, but it’s writ large, and we love it. ”
― Tom Hiddleston
