By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Whatever we understand and enjoy in human products instantly becomes ours, wherever they might have their origin... Let me feel with unalloyed gladness that all the great glories of man are mine.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Man goes into the noisy crowd to drown his own clamour of silence.
Rabindranath Tagore

Saltwater heals, healing referring to its various forms tears, cleanses and heals the soul sweat, cleanses through labor the ocean, heals in all its forms.
