"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles."
Anne Frank

"The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in the fairy books, "charm," "spell," "enchantment." ...A tree grows fruit because it is a magic tree. FairyWater runs downhill because it is bewitched. The sun shines because it is bewitched."
G. K. Chesterton
