“The mountain-path of Action is no longer a path for me; my future hope pauses with my present happiness in the shadowed valley of Repose.”
― Wilkie Collins, Basil

“I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there. I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.”
― Andrew Wyeth
