Quote 551 Richard Leviton

"All you can do is this:   Whatever you experience , whether tangible or untangible, look underneath the experience, like a child looking for a lizard under a stone.   You're not expecting anything to be there, but you're always wondering if there might be."
...Richard Leviton

Quote 550 Anais Nin

"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason.  I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me.   Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.  Reality doesn't impress me.   I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another.  No more walls."
...Anais Nin (2/21/1903-1/14/1977

Quote 548 Henry David Thoreau

"I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines."
...Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
