“Walking, I can almost hear the redwoods beating. And the oceans are above me here, rolling clouds, heavy and dark. It is winter and there is smoke from the fires. It is a world of elemental attention, of all things working together, listening to what speaks in the blood.

You are the result of the love of thousands.”
― Linda Hogan, Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World

“I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
