My favorite traditional Christmas movie that I like to watch is All Quiet on the Western Front. Its just not December without that movie in my house. – Tom Hanks
No journalist has ever been in my house and no photographs have ever been taken of where I live. I dont parade my family out for display, which is the way it will stay. – Tom Hanks
Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day. – Tom Hanks
You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what its like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos. – Tom Hanks
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! – Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers
I think the true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them. I think the true gardener is the reverent servant of Nature, not her truculent, wife-beating master. I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful and uncertain spirit. – Reginald Farrer, In a Yorkshire Garden, 1909
