"You cannot see the mountain near...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“What you persist in doing gets easier. The task hasn't changed, but your ability to do it has increased.”

“We love it because it is self dependent, self derived, and therefore of an old immaculate pedigree, even if shown in a young person.”

“The genius of reading and of gardening are antagonistic, like resinous and vitreous electricity. One is concentrative in sparks and shocks: the other is diffuse strength; so that each disqualifies its workman for the other's duties.”

“We need only travel enough to give our intellects an airing.”

“Within every adversity is an equal and opposite benefit.”

“It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood. . . .”

“We never touch but at points.”

“Written kisses don't reach their destination, rather they are drunk on the way by the ghosts.”

“Sometimes we need to be apart to understand just how much we truly love each other .”
