Once in a while I need some quotes which are just nice and peaceful. The John Ruskin quotes are just that.

I work my way through the others if I find enough time. Thanks for reminding me that Franz Marc was born on Feb 8. Several of his prints (of course I never could afford an original), have been with me since I was a teenager and fell in love with them.

They always had thought that it was coming from a large, active galaxy with a bright supermassive black hole or active star formation, not this cosmic p i p s q u e a k. Kind of puts us in our pace in the importance of things.
