“The startle and wonder of being in this place. This overwhelming beauty - some of it is natural, some of it is man-made, some of it is casual, some of it is a mere glance - is an absolute necessity. I don't think we can do without it any more than we can do without dreams or oxygen.” — Toni Morrison
