“The Wonder of the Woods,Lies less in Sight then Sensing, Less in Sound than Silence.”
“It is strange that the tactile sense, which is so infinitely less precious to men than sight, becomes at critical moments our main, if not only, handle to reality.”
“Now there was nothing but awful, terrible silence. Sight is a sense outside and apart from the body, an image on the surface of the eye. But sound enters the ears, the head, it lives inside. In sound's absence, silence echoes.”
“And jewels and words are no less and no more necessary than cotton and silence.”
“Don't settle for less than God's best for you".~R. Alan Woods [2013]”
“A picture is worth a thousand words, but is 400% less valuable, because a picture only captures one of the senses—sight. However, words can describe the other four senses, making writing four times more potent than photography.”
