But if you find yourself sitting in the hedgerow with nothing but weeds, there is no reason for shutting your eyes and seeing nothing, instead of finding what beauty you may in the weeds. To put it cynically, life is too short to waste it in drawing blanks. Therefore, it is up to you to find as many pictures to put on your blank pages as possible.

    Emily Post (2007). “Etiquette: In Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home”, p.54, Cosimo, Inc.

    George Eliot (2006). “Daniel Deronda: Easyread Edition”, p.346, ReadHowYouWant.com

The spirit of risk gradually takes its leave. It follows the wild cries of joy and pain down the wind, through the hedgerow, growing ever fainter. What was that sound? A dog barking far off? That was our life calling to us, the one that was vigorous and undefended and curious.

    David R. Foster, Henry David Thoreau (2009). “Thoreau's Country: Journey through a Transformed Landscape”, p.67, Harvard University Press

  • Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans - which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.

    Running   Time   Travel  
    George Eliot (2016). “Complete Works Of George Eliot”, p.1155, ShandonPress

    Attachment   Self   Three  
    T.S. Eliot (2009). “Collected Poems 1909-1962”, p.180, Faber & Faber
