—Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
—Hope Edelman (20th century)
“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Let them be your only diet drink and botanical medicines.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
