"Nature refuses to rest...." - Quote by John Updike

“Truth should not be forced; it should simply manifest itself, like a woman who has in her privacy reflected and coolly decided to bestow herself upon a certain man.”

“To guarantee the individual maximum freedom within a social frame of minimal laws ensures - if not happiness - its hopeful pursuit.”

“Suddenly summoned to witness something great and horrendous, we keep fighting not to reduce it to our own smallness.”

“Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep.”

“Why should I not sit, every morning of my life, on the hillside, looking into the shining world?”

“A great acacia, with its slender trunkAnd overpoise of multitudinous leaves.(In which a hundred fields might spill their dewAnd intense verdure, yet find room enough)Stood reconciling all the place with green.”

“Whether one movesslowly or with speed,the one whois a seekerwill be a finder.”

“Still, life had a way of adding day to day”

“Fighting for what you think is right is always worth it.”
