“The secret of peace: a devout worship of the moment. Ironically: with most people this comes naturally.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Water undergoes countless changes but water is still water. In the same way, although the conscious mind appears to undergo changes, the original unmoving mind does not change.”
― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution

“But only in youth does coincidence seem the same as fate. Later, we know that the real course of our lives is decided within us; our paths may seem to diverge from our wishes in a confused and pointless way, but in the end the way always leads us to our invisible destination.”
― Stefan Zweig, The World of Yesterday

“The life of a region depends ultimately on its geologic substratum, for this sets up a chain-reaction which passes, determining their character, in turn through its streams and wells, its vegetation and the animal-life that feeds on this, and finally through the type of human being attracted to live there. In a profound sense also the structure of its rocks gives rise to the psychic life of the land: granite, serpentine, slate, sandstone, limestone, chalk and the rest have each their special personality dependant on the age in which they were laid down, each being co-existent with a special phase of the earth-spirit's manifestation.”
― Ithell Colquhoun, The Living Stones: Cornwall
