Paul Hawken

We assume, to begin with, that the individual is at least as complex in his internal structure as the language is which he speaks - otherwise, how could he speak a language which is complex?

Eric Shinseki

What a profound significance small things assume when the woman we love conceals them from us.
Marcel Proust
