Book cover for A Place of My Own: The Architecture of Daydreams
This, according to Le Corbusier, is architecture’s first principle and purpose: to defy time and decay. That, and to wrest a space from nature to house all those things we value—books, conversation, marriage—that nature has no place or use ...more

“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happened better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb. (Don't Hesitate)”
Mary Oliver, Swan: Poems and Prose Poems

Voltaire
“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”
Voltaire

Langston Hughes
“I loved my friend
He went away from me
There's nothing more to say
The poem ends,
Soft as it began-

Langston Hughes

Ryszard Kapuściński
“We do not really know what draws a human being out into the world. Is it curiosity? A hunger for experience? An addiction to wonderment?

If he believes that everything has already happened, that he has seen it all, then something most precious has died within him—the delight in life.”
Ryszard Kapuściński, Travels with Herodotus

Larry McMurtry
“It's a fine world, though rich in hardships at times.”
Larry McMurtry, Lonesome Dove
