"Everything hinges on how you look at things"

--

Henry Miller

“My brain said no. But my heart!”
“Schoolchildren and older people like the idea of planting trees. For children, it's interesting that an acorn will grow into an oak, and for older people it's a legacy. And the act of planting a tree is not that difficult.”
“My life is as good as an Abba song. Itâ€™s as good as Dancing Queen.”
“Anybody can do bad work, but not everybody does good work.”
“What counts more than style is whether architecture improves our experience of the built world; whether it makes us wonder why we never noticed places in quite this way before.”
“Books are the perfect Time Machine. By the simple act of opening a book you can, in an instant, be travelling up a jungle river without once being bitten by mosquitoes, or you can almost die of thirst in the desert while holding a cold drink in your hand, or dine in the finest restaurants and never have to worry about paying the bill, or ride the wild country of our western frontier and never worry about losing your scalp to a raiding party.”
“When youâ€™re unsure, jump with your eyes closed and legs wide open”
“Every pretty girl is a heartbreaker”
