No story lives unless someone wants to listen. So thank you, all of you.

We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken.

John Maynard Keynes

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

They were small, brightly coloured, happy little creatures who secreted some of the nastiest toxins in the world, which is why the job of looking after the large vivarium where they happily passed their days was given to first-year students, on the basis that if they got things wrong there wouldn't be too much education wasted.

Aldous Huxley

I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.

Albert Einstein
