The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it.

It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

"The past is never dead; it’s not even past until we’ve written it."

To listen is to allow the world to enter you.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves， and wiser people so full of doubts.
