“There is a form of laughter that springs from the heart, heard every day in the merry voice of childhood, the expression of a laughter - loving spirit that defies analysis by the philosopher, which has nothing rigid or mechanical in it, and totally without social significance.

Without egotism and full of feeling, laughter is the music of life.” MenLifeHeartChildrenFeelingsFormSpiritSocialVoiceHeardChildhoodExpressionSpringLaughterPhilosopherUpliftingAnalysisSignificanceEgotismMerry Author:William Osler
“It was among farmers and potato diggers and old men in workhouses and beggars at my own door that I found what was beyond these and yet farther beyond that drawingroom poet of my childhood in the expression of love, and grief, and the pain of parting, that are the disclosure of the individual soul.” MenSoulPainFoundIndividualMy OwnGriefDoorsChildhoodPoetExpressionOld ManFarmersPotatoesPartingBeggarDisclosureExpressions Of LoveWorkhouses Book:The Kiltartan Poetry Book Source: The Kiltartan Poetry Book
“I lifted the white cloth from the white face of the man that I had worshipped as an idol-looked upon as a demi-god. Notwithstanding the violence of the death of the President, there was something beautiful as well as grandly solemn in the expression of the placid face. There lurked the sweetness and gentleness of childhood, and the stately grandeur of godlike intellect. I gazed long at the face, and turned away with tears in my eyes and a choking sensation in my throat. Ah! never was man so widely mourned before. The whole world bowed their heads in grief when Abraham Lincoln died.” MenWorldWellsLongWholeEyeBeautifulFacesPresidentWhiteGriefViolenceChildhoodTearsHe ManExpressionDiedIntellectWhole WorldSensationsThroatIdolsSweetnessGentlenessSolemnChokeGrandeurAbrahamSomething BeautifulGodlikePlacidTears In My Eyes Author:Elizabeth Keckley

“Childhood has been idealised as a lost garden paradise to which we can never return. We are excluded from this world of carelessness, innocence and unity. But the imaginary kingdom is nothing more than a projection of adult ideas and concerns onto the image, an expression of our own yearnings. By photographing children alone, divorced from any social setting, I allow them to exist on their own...I am exploring the equivocal connection between self and world.” WorldChildrenHas BeensIdeasSelfLostSocialChildhoodThis WorldExpressionReturnAdultsConcernGardenConnectionsUnitySettingKingdomsSettingsInnocenceParadiseYearningImaginaryExploringDivorcedProjectionExcludedCarelessness Author:Loretta Lux

“When the stories of our life no longer bind us, we discover within them something greater. We discover that within the very limitations of form, of our maleness and femaleness, of our parenthood and our childhood, of gravity on the earth and the changing of the seasons, is the freedom and harmony we have sought for so long. Our individual life is an expression of the whole mystery, and in it we can rest in the center of the movement, the center of all worlds.” WorldLongWholeStoriesEarthFormLife IsIndividualGreaterOur LivesMysteryChildhoodMovementExpressionSeasonsHarmonyLimitationParenthoodGravityIndividual LifeMaleness Author:Jack Kornfield
