“My center does not come from my mind - it feels in me like a plot of warm moist well tilled earth with the sun shining hot on it... It seems I would rather feel starkly empty than let any thing be planted that cannot be tended to the fullest possibility of its growth.” FeelsMindWellsDoeSeemsEarthGrowthSunPossibilityEmptyHotShiningWarmPlot Book:Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life Source: Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life
“I am not an optimist, because I am not sure that everything ends well. Nor am I a pessimist, because I am not sure that everything ends badly. I just carry hope in my heart. Hope is the feeling that life and work have a meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. Life without hope is an empty, boring, and useless life. I cannot imagine that I could strive for something if I did not carry hope in me. I am thankful to God for this gift. It is as big as life itself.” IfsWorldWellsHeartEndsStatesFeelingsBigsHopeImagineMy HeartEmptyStriveBoringUselessNot SureSurroundImagine ThatOptimistPessimistWithout HopeI Am ThankfulThankful To GodUseless Life Author:Vaclav Havel
“Life is more than a theory, and love of truth butters no bread: old men who have had to struggle along their way, who know the endless bitterness, the grave moral deterioration which follow an empty exchequer, may well be pardoned for an over-wish to see their sons secured from it; hunger, at least, is a reality.” KnowsMenWayWellsMayRealityLife IsWishMoralStruggleSonTheoryEmptyAnd LoveHungerGravesEndlessBreadOld ManBitternessSecuredDeterioration Book:The nemesis of faith: or, The history of Markham Sutherland Source: The nemesis of faith: or, The history of Markham Sutherland
