Lilacs are May in essence.

November is chill, frosted mornings with a silver sun rising behind the trees, red cardinals at the feeders, and squirrels running scallops along the tops of the gray stone walls.

June is the gateway to summer.

In March winter is holding back and spring is pulling forward. Something holds and something pulls inside of us too.

January is the month for dreaming.

Some days confidence shrinks to the size of a pea, and the backbone feels like a feather. We want to be somewhere else, and don't know where - want to be someone else and don't know who.

In July everybody you telephone is somewhere else - either on the beach or on vacation, and half the time you're somewhere else too.

I love planting bulbs. It is making promises with tomorrow, believing in next year and the future.

When you plant early, you bring spring early.

An educated man should know everything about something and something about everything

No one makes a lock without a key. That's why God won't give you difficulties without a solution!Your current situation may look Horrorful but don't worry your future will be colourful.

Ever see moors murderer Ian Brady, study his photos, study Black, study Cannon, study Sutcliffe - study them all! Who says evil is not recognisable?

When the same qualities which we admire in ourselves are seen in others, even though they be superior, maliciously lower and carp at them.

I am trying to be guided by my passion.

I love research and being educated. It's a great job being able to step into all kinds of professions and into other people's shoes.

Just because you're not sweating doesn't mean you're not putting in the work.

If you worry about financial Armageddon, it is indeed metaphorically the time to stock your bunker with guns, ammunition, canned food and gold bars.

I secretly think reality exists so we can speculate about it.

I exist as I am, that is enough.
