my mother said to me recently.

Where can I put it down?”

“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm - yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.”
― E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

“Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.”
