Most people tend to think the best of those who are blessed with beauty; we have difficulty imagining that physical perfection can conceal twisted emotions or a damaged mind.

Dean Koontz

I think your life is governed not by the bricks or mortar around you, its governed by who holds your hand and who spits in your eye.

Franz Marc

Lewis Mumford
