Somerset Maugham

I believe in the unsubmissive, the unfaltering, the unassailable, the irresistible, the unbelievable? in other words, in an art of life. Margaret Anderson
The words of the Lord are written in the word around us. Merely be attentive to what happens in your life and you will discover where. Paulo Coelho
