“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of the infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.” ThinkingWorldShouldMindHumansBlackSeaIgnoranceIslandsMidstHuman MindInfinityDreadInabilityVoyagesMercifulPlacid Author:H.

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.” IfsKnowsMenInspirationalWellsDeathFriendshipCommunityChristianityPiecesSeaMankindInvolvedEuropeEvery ManTheeIslandsBellsContinentsDiminishInterdependenceTollsGriefingDeath GriefGrief And DeathWhom The Bell TollsCommunity Action Author:John Donne

“We have great cities to visit: New York and Washington, Paris and London; and further east, and older than any of these, the legendary city of Samarkand, whose crumbling palaces and mosques still welcome travelers on the Silk road. Weary of cities? Then we’ll take to the wilds. To the islands of Hawaii and the mountains of Japan, to forests where Civil War dead still lie, and stretches of sea no mariner ever crossed. They all have their poetry: the glittering cities and the ruined, the watery wastes and the dusty; I want to show you them all. I want to show you everything.” WantStillsWarShowsLyingCitiesSeaNew YorkMountainWasteEastLondonForestsWelcomeParisIslandsCivil WarJapanWearyTravelerRuinedHawaiiPalacesSilkLegendaryMosquesGreat CitiesCrumblingMarinersSilk RoadSamarkand Author:Clive Barker
