One really special quote ...
8/19/2013 9:54:04 PM



What is wine? It is the grape present in another form; its essence is there, though the fruit which produced it grew thousands of miles away, and perished years ago. So the object of many a tender thought may be spiritually present, in defiance of space - and fond recollections cherished in defiance of time.

This is a wonderfully deep quote.

There are many things here to think about.

This is a different thought about the distance or absence

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
