“Beware of those who speak ill of others in your presence; don't be surprised of what they say about you in your absence.” 

― A.J. Garces

A profusion of pink roses bending ragged in the rain speaks to me of all gentleness and its enduring.

~ William Carlos Williams

          Without great solitude, no serious work is possible.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

 — Nikola Tesla
