Charles Murray Quotes

Little boys have amazing minds.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.

Think about a seed. Once it lands, it's stuck. It can't move to find better soil, moisture or sunlight. It's able to create every part of itself to grow and reproduce with the help of air, water and sun.

Emptiness is bound to bloom, like hundreds of grasses blossoming.
