In what bold relief stand out the lives of all walkers of the snow! The snow is a great tell-tale, and blabs as effectually as it obliterates. I go into the woods, and know all that has happened. I cross the fields, and if only a mouse has visited his neighbor, the fact is chronicled. ~John Burroughs

Good people have always been at the heart of the Virgin business, and that is largely because we have tried to keep our business small, and our management teams tight-knit.

#quotes #rick-riordan #the-little-mermaid
