If a beautiful thing were to remain beautiful for all eternity, I'd be glad, but all the same Id look at it with a colder eye. I'd say to myself: You can look at it any time, it doesn't have to be today. Herman Hesse
Rudyard Kipling quote: "I've never done any cattle-liftin', but it seems to me-e-e..."
I've never done any cattle-liftin', but it seems to me-e-e that one might just as well be stalky about a thing as not. Rudyard Kipling
As adults we try to relax from the never-ending quest for reason and order by drinking a little whiskey or smoking whatever works for us, but the wisdom isn't in the whiskey or the smoke. The wisdom is in the moments when the madness slips away and we remember the basics. Willie Nelson
