"Who comes here, to this whiteness,
this far and frozen place,
in search of something he cannot name?
Not wealth, it may be,
but a fortune of the spirit,
a freshness denied him
in the place he came from."
- John Haines

"The universe is full of magical things
patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper."
- Eden Phillpots

"We need to find God,
and he cannot be found
in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend of silence."
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta
