Quote by Arthur Conan Doyle

“Some believe what separates men from animals is our ability to reason. Others say it’s language or romantic love, or opposable thumbs. Living here in this lost world, I’ve come to believe it is more than our biology. What truly makes us human is our unending search, our abiding desire for immortality.”

Quote by Arthur Conan Doyle

“That the first time I see poetry writ down It does all go from left to right I see now it must But not all the space is filld up The words have their own pattern Make a picture on the page The space that is writ Speak as loud as the space that is not I cannot read them right but I like to see The spaces and all that lie in them Soon soon I will read them correct I see the path ahead long and steep Rising through many tight knit trees Lit all the way with bright lanterns So one may step on boldly I must work and work”
