It is not the project but the living process that will be the measure of our actions.

David Holmgren Writer

When we work with nature instead of trying to impose our will, the solution is often found within the problem.

David Holmgren Writer

David Holmgren Writer

George Burton Adams

I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult. I'm only trying to do what I can't do.

Lucian Freud Painter

Puff Daddy Rapper

I think Christmas is about celebration and come on, on the inside everyone wants to dance.

Tobymac Recording Artist

Choking with dry tears and raging, raging, raging at the absolute indifference of nature and the world to the death of love, the death of hope and the death of beauty, I remember sitting on the end of my bed, collecting these pills and capsules together and wondering why, why when I felt I had so much to offer, so much love, such outpourings of love and energy to spend on the world, I was incapable of being offered love, giving it or summoning the energy with which I knew I could transform myself and everything around me.

Stephen Fry Comedian

To close the eyes, and give a seemly comfort to the apparel of the dead, is poverty's holiest touch of nature.

Charles Dickens Writer
