| There is a Place: Old Barns of Oklahoma |
| There is a place in all our memories, a place we moved away from long ago, but never left behind. It still sits quietly, patiently waiting...knowing that it is not forgotten any more than it has forgotten. Such places are for memory working both ways - within the place, within the heart. -- Elizabeth Spencer |
| The finest qualities of our nature can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat each other or ourselves this tenderly. -- Henry David Thoreau |
| The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy. -- Eudora Welty |
| Time and memory are true artists; they remold reality til it's nearer to the heart's desire. -- John Dewey |
| Oh, I'm longing for places that were not cherished enough in that fleeting hour.... Now, how I wish to make good from afar...the forgotten gesture, the additional act. -- Rainer Rilke |
| Impermanence is the very essence of joy - the drop of bitterness that enables one to perceive the sweet. -- Myrtle Reed |
| Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower, We will grieve not, rather find, Strength in what remains behind. -- William Wordsworth |
| In the end, what saves a man is to take a step. And then another step. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery |
