George Harrison, " I've played in two great bands, and have met some of the most beautiful people. But I have seen their hearts torn out and watched them crumble, each for different reasons.

So deep and beautiful wish, the dream had been.

The faintest waft is sometimes enough to induce feelings of hunger or anticipation, or to transport you back through time and space to a long-forgotten moment in your childhood.

There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. 'Tis good to give a stranger a meal, or a night's lodging.

We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
