More on Nature
“Fertile plains, every foot of them tilled, are of the first necessity; but great natural playgrounds of mountain, forest, cliff-walled lake, and brawling brook are also necessary to the full and many-sided development of a fine race.”
“The water in the stream may have changed many times, but the reflection of the moon and the stars remains the same.”
“Necessity is the mistress and guide of nature.”
More on Observation
“There's racism everywhere.”
“Many a good man I have seen go under.”
“I like it when people come to see me again, but you end up playing to that person only. You know there's other people out there, but you also know that the person who came to see you again is there. You're like, "I hope he's happy again."”
