“It is the task of the translator to release in his own language that pure language that is under the spell of another, to liberate the language imprisoned in a work in his re-creation of that work.” 

Walter Benjamin

“So many people consider their work a daily punishment. Whereas I love my work as a translator. Translation is a journey over a sea from one shore to the other. Sometimes I think of myself as a smuggler: I cross the frontier of language with my booty of words, ideas, images, and metaphors.” 

Many people all over the world are brainwashed and the reason is… Russia. Russia here, Russia there. But to be honest, the key problem lies somewhere in the personal fear sphere. When you often use the expression: “If Russia…” It is really a bad sign. You should stop.

The reality is different. The Russians are still the same. They like friends, they try to make friends and be friends themselves.

And the “missile language” is not the language the Russians use. The nation doesn’t have threats, it has only the responses.

Time spent with cats is never wasted.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Winston Churchill

There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.

Thomas Jefferson

If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is Nature's way.

Aristotle “Nichomachean Ethics”

Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says, "I'm going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that's tough. I am going to snow anyway."

Maya Angelou

Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

William Shakespeare “As You Like It”

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.

Linda Hogan
 

A flower is an educated weed.

Luther Burbank

To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.

Mahatma Gandhi


Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

Frank Lloyd Wright
 

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

Lao Tzu
 

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
 

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
This is not done by jostling in the street.
