You have to throw all that other stuff away and not be worried about this epic responsibility, or it will just crush and paralyze you.” ThinkingCharacterStuffResponsibilityLandConflictWorriedCrushEpic Author:Zack Snyder
“There is an immense trout in Loch Awe in Scotland, which is so voracious, and swallows his own species with such avidity, that he has obtained the name 'Salmo Ferox'. I pull about this unnatural monster till he is tired, land him, and administer the coup de grace. Is this cruel?

“The region belonging to the pure intellect is straitened: the imagination labours to extend its territories, to give it room.

“I'm a diehard animal lover - I've always loved animals - but it was just one of those trips that I felt like I was going back to the beginning of where earth started. At the time, where a lot of stuff was brewing anyway, to be in such a beautiful and barren land, and just looking at how life began with all these creatures, I just started to really think about animals and time and just all of it.” ThinkingEarthBeautifulFeltStuffAnimalLandLoversCreaturesJust OneBarrenAnimal LoveBrewingAnimal LoverDiehard Author:Jillian Hervey
