Quotes:
• Folks are like plants; we all lean toward the light. — Kris Carr (1971-) American actress & filmmaker
• To live more simply is to unburden our lives – to live more lightly, cleanly, aerodynamically. It is to establish a more direct, unpretentious, and unencumbered relationship with all aspects of our lives: the things that we consume, the work that we do, our relationships with others, our connections with nature and the cosmos, and more. — Duane Elgin (1943-) American author & social scientist
