Unthreatening Quotes : pic 000659297
When I would re-create myself, I seek the darkest wood, the thickest and most interminable and to the citizen, most dismal, swamp. I enter as a sacred place, a Sanctum sanctorum. There is the strength, the marrow, of Nature.

Unthreatening Quotes : pic 000755280
Long ago I learned that even the most inanimate things we know of - stone, iron columns, copper pipes, gravel roads, a piece of paper - won't last very long without attention and fixing and the loan of additional order. Existence, it seems, is chiefly maintenance. What

To destroy wonder and mystery, is to destroy the only elements that make existence tolerable.
Unthreatening Quotes : pic 001124226
People who feel empty never heal by merging with another incomplete person. On the contrary, two broken-winged birds coupled into one make for clumsy flight. No amount of patience will help it fly; and, ultimately, each must be pried from the other, and wounds separately splinted. The

I'm torn between the desire to create and the desire to destroy.
Unthreatening Quotes : pic 001679851

Change, the uninvited guest that destroys what once was.
Unthreatening Quotes : pic 000236698
