"Without poets, without artists... everything would fall apart into chaos. 

There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. 

Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit."

"Utopias are often just premature truths."

"Simplify your life. 

Don't waste the years struggling for things that are unimportant. 

Don't burden yourself with possessions. 

Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy what you have. 

Don't destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past. 

Live in the present. 

Simplify!"

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 - 1940)

 

"The world only exists in your eyes. You can make it as big or as small as you want."
