“We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster.

“Trees and flowers were often more meaningful to me than people. They always helped me, consoled me, giving the soul a chance to believe once more than the world was beautiful and sensible, that the mad absurdities and cruelties of men were against the laws of Nature and the Universal Mind; that sooner or later violence would suffer utter defeat on this Earth. No words collected in books were more effectively convincing to me than foliage, clouds, rippling waters, rain.” PeopleMenWorldGivingMindBelieveBookSoulEarthBeautifulLawSufferingWaterNatureChanceViolenceTreeFlowerRainUniversalMadDefeatCloudsMeaningfulCrueltySensibleSooner Or LaterAbsurdityConvincingLaws Of NatureFoliage Author:Svetlana Alliluyeva

Aunt, dear aunt, for mercy's sake, think of this, before you let them drag this sick child to a prison, which in any case must be the grave of all his chances of amendment."” IfsThinkingMenWantMayChildrenHas BeensHomeYoungMotherNatureChanceKnownCasesComfortMercySickPrisonGuiltRoseSakeDearIllBlowDrivenGravesBreadWickedAmendmentsDragAuntPursuedHerdsUsageMother's LoveSick Children Book:The Charles Dickens Collection Volume One: Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and Bleak House Source: The Charles Dickens Collection Volume One: Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and Bleak House
