Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. ~Edward Hallowell

#quotes #chang-rae-lee #love

The way life runs through everything, even the tiniest elements of nature; that makes me humble. It's the same humility that causes people at a certain time every day to get on their knees and put their foreheads on the ground in honor of something or someone. ~Michael J. Fox
