I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests. – Pablo Neruda, quoted in Wall Street Journal,, 14 November 1985
We have more ability than will power, and it is often an excuse to ourselves that we imagine that things are impossible. РFran̤ois de la Rochefoucauld
