“Love does not die easily. It is a living thing. it thrives in the face of all life s hazards save one neglect.”

“Neglecting to broaden their view has kept some people doing one thing all their lives.”

“Hazard has conditioned us to live in hazard. All our pleasures are dependant upon it. Even though I arrange for a pleasure; and look forward to it, my eventual enjoyment of it is still a matter of hazard. Wherever time passes, there is hazard. You may die before you turn the next page.”

“I think perhaps love thrives on unlikely circumstances and chance : life thrives on these principles, and is life not love? And love not life?”

“Such a simplified lifestyle can be truly wonderful - you'll finally have time for the things you really love, for relaxation, for outdoor activities, for exercise, for reading or finding peace and quiet, for the loved ones in your life, for the things you're most passionate about. This is what it means to thrive - to live a life full of the things you want in them, and not more. To live a better quality of life without having to spend and buy and consume.”

“It does not do to neglect the gods of a place, whoever they may be. In the end, they are all one.”
