Dancing With Goats

“I think most of us are raised

with preconceived notions

of the choices we’re supposed to make. 

We waste so much time 

making decisions based on someone else’s idea

of our happiness—

what will make you a good citizen

or a good wife or daughter 

or actress. 

Nobody says, ‘Just be happy;

go be a cobbler or

go live with goats.'”

~ Sandra Bullock 

Timeless Shades of Romance

“There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old,

and the same today as it has ever been. 

The great traditional buildings of the past,

the villages and tents and temples

in which man feels at home,

have always been made by people

who are very close to the 

center of this way.”
~ Christopher Alexander
