“Only a lie that wasn't ashamed of itself could possibly succeed”
― Isaac Asimov, Second Foundation

“no,”

“I might never have realized who I really was or have gotten answers to the relentless questions that had driven me to the Cove without those quiet hours spent with Fairlight in the mountains. I do not know why it is that an intimate contact with wildlife and a personal observation of nature helps so much in this self-discovery. But that it is so, I have seen in other people's lives as well as my own....even a few bricks and macadam are a shield between us and the wisdom that nature has to give.”
― Catherine Marshall, Christy
