77-82

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.:
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

MARY OLIVER:
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. Blackwater Woods

MATTHEW ARNOLD:
Is it so small a thing 
To have enjoy'd the sun, 
To have lived light in the spring, 
To have loved, to have thought, to have done...

MAY SARTON:
A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself.

MOHANDAS K. GANDHI:
Where there is love there is life.

MORTIMER ADLER:
Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life.
