Great people are those who make others feel that they, too, can become great.
- Mark Twain. American humorist, writer and lecturer, 1835-1910
Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation. Tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego.
-Jean Arp, artist and poet (1887-1948)
