I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily… — Mary Oliver

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

Beauty without purpose is beauty without virtue.

But all beautiful things, inherently, have this function —

to excite the viewers toward sublime thought.

Glory to the world, that good teacher.

Among the swans there is none called the least,

or the greatest.
