Suppose, for instance, that you are climbing a mountain, and have worked yourself into a position from which the only escape is by a terrible leap. Have faith that you can successfully make it, and your feet are nerved to its accomplishment. But mistrust yourself... you roll in the abyss. ~William James _________________

We are in midsummer; the sun is in full power, and at noon all nature is silent under his spell... Glancing across the plain, you see the rarefied and glimmering air ascending from the heated earth. ~Eliza Cook’s Journal, 1850 _________________

You will hardly believe the difference the use of one word rather than another will make until you begin to hunt for a word with just the right shade of meaning, just the right color for the picture you are painting with words. Have you thought that words have color? ~Laura Ingalls Wilder _________________
