Things I Learned in New York City

A city is not a gauged by its length and width, but by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams. – Herb Caen

 Washington Square Park

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment.  I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush and so, they have no time to look at the flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.                 -Georgia O’Keeffe                                                                                                                                                                           

Look deep into nature, and then you will

understand everything better

– Albert Einstein

 

 

 

 

 

Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air.  – Georges Bernanos

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.                                 – Leo Buscaglia

 

 

 

 

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity. – Edvard Munch
