Before we take to the sea, we walk on land. . . Before we create, we must understand. . .
Ernest Hemingway

I love thee and thou art so lovely and so wonderful and so beautiful and it does such things to me to be with thee that I feel as though I wanted to die when I am loving thee.
Ernest Hemingway
