"I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars." ― Walt Whitman Topic(s): Nature More From Walt Whitman "After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on – have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear – what remains? Nature remains." "I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don’t believe I deserved my friends." "Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes." More In Nature "The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do."― Galileo Galilei "Sensual love deceives one as to the nature of heavenly love; it could not do so alone, but since it unconsciously has the element of heavenly love within it, it can do so."― Franz Kafka "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."― Albert Camus
