Quotes:
• It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace. — Andre Paul Guillaume Gide (1869–1951) French author
• It is the mind which creates the world around us, and even though we stand side by side in the same meadow, my eyes will never see what is beheld by yours, my heart will never stir to the emotions with which yours is touched. — George Robert Gissing (1857–1903) English novelist
Note: The stirring of the heart may be quite similar though. We confirm this when, years later, you and a friend relive the moments you spent together in a magical place.
