My grandfather used to say, Learn to like art, music and literature deeply and passionately. They will be your friends when things are bad.

Unless we can contribute something from wilderness experience, derive some solace or peace to share with others, then the real purpose is defeated.

Image

It is not every friend whose eye is a light in a sickroom, whose presence is there a solace.
Charlotte Bronte
