"Bittersweet"

Life at best is bittersweet.  Jack Kirby

Education

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.

Freya Stark

Freya Stark, a fascinating woman with inspirational wisdom...3 of my favorite quotes from her:

 

“This is a great moment, when you see, however distant, the goal of your wandering. The thing which has been living in your imagination suddenly become part of the tangible world. It matters not how many ranges, rivers or parching dusty ways may lie between you; it is yours now for ever.”

“The most ominous of fallacies - the belief that things can be kept static by inaction”

“Good days are to be gathered like grapes, to be trodden and bottled into wine and kept for age to sip at ease beside the fire. If the traveler has vintaged well, he need trouble to wander no longer; the ruby moments glow in his glass at will.”
