John Needham

“The world is so huge that people are always getting lost in it. There are too many ideas and things and people too many directions to go. I was starting to believe that the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size. It makes the world seem not huge and empty but full of possibility.”
― Susan Orlean , The Orchid Thief

“Perfect love has a breath of poetry which can exalt the relations of the least-instructed human beings.”
― George Eliot, Silas Marner
