#quotes #don-lemon #silence #deception

To create worry humans elongate fear with anticipation and memory, expand it in imagination and fuel it with emotion.

#quotes #john-f-kennedy

Out of the choked Devonian waters emerged sight and sound and the music that rolls invisible through the composer's brain. They are there still in the ooze along the tideline, though no one notices. The world is fixed, we say, fish in the sea, birds in the air.
