Viggo Mortensen
“You don't have to make something that people call art. Living is an artistic activity, there is an art to getting through the day.”
viggo mortensen

A.A. Milne
“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?”
A. A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining
And I believe in love,
even when there’s no one there.
And I believe in God,
even when He is silent.
I believe through any trial,
there is always a way
But sometimes in this suffering
and hopeless despair
My heart cries for shelter,
to know someone’s there
But a voice rises within me, saying hold on
my child, I’ll give you strength,
I’ll give you hope. Just stay a little while.
I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining
And I believe in love
even when there’s no one there
But I believe in God
even when he is silent
I believe through any trial
there is always a way.
May there someday be sunshine
May there someday be happiness
May there someday be love
May there someday be peace….”
Unknown (written during WW2, on the wall of a cellar, by a Jew in the Cologne concentration camp)

Donald L. Hicks
“Listen to the murmur of water and you'll hear Mother Nature.
Listen to the stillness beneath, and there you'll find God.”
Donald L. Hicks, Look into the stillness

John Lubbock
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
John Lubbock, The Use Of Life
