Junot Diaz
Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don’t know. Fay Godwin

When you limit the word ‘jazz’ to one period of history, for the people who love that period, then maybe it can be dead because nobody plays like that anymore.

I am not a religious person myself, but I did look for nature. I had spent my first sabbatical in New York City. Looked for something different for the second one.

Falling in love with landscapes is what L.A. women do. It doesn’t necessarily imply betrothal or marriage. Kate Braverman
Sometimes a game comes at just the right moment in your life. ‘Flower’ is beautiful, serene, and a bit of sunshine in a gloomy world.

Rob Manuel

James Best

The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust
