Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.

Victor Hugo
Image
Everything speaks: the flowing airstream and the sailing halycon, the blade of grass, the flower, the bud, the element did you imagine the universe to be otherwise?
Victor Hugo

Nobody loves the light like the blind man.

Dirt has been shrewdly termed misplaced material.
