The meaning of culture is nothing less than the conduct of life itself, fortified, thickened, made more crafty and subtle, by contact with books and with art.

Life needs a constant change, minds needs the constant change, only thing that is permanent in the world is change.

Johann von Goethe

Yann Martel

There is no greater feeling than hanging out with my dogs, or just walking around the land with our horses. My rescue ranch is is where I feel the most at peace and where I'm reminded of the simple things in life and let the chaos of my crazy work life fade away.

John Ruskin

Terry Pratchett

Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter.
