The human eye also will not make its way into a painting or building unless a continuum of shapes leads from the small to the large, from the large to the small.

Rudolf Arnheim

Liberals wished it were other things.

Wayne Gretzky

But in my mind, I don't think there's any question Sidney Crosby is the best all-around player in the game.

And, most importantly, I don't care how good you are, if you don't have a work ethic, it doesn't matter. There's no question that each and every game, he's one of the hardest-working guys on the ice. In my mind, he's the best player in the game today.

Ursula K. Le Guin

I went to the springs while the sun was still up, and sitting on a rocky outcrop above the cave mouth I watched the light grow reddish across the misty pools, and listened to the troubled voice of the water. After a while I moved farther up the hill, where I could hear birds singing near and far in the silence of the trees. The presence of the trees was very strong...The big oaks stood so many, so massive in their other life, in their deep, rooted silence: the awe of them came on me, the religion.
