― Sarah Moss, The Tidal Zone

“La decadencia llega cuando el hombre deja de fijarse en la naturaleza”
― Leonardo da Vinci

“The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.”
