The quality of place, the reaction to immediate contact with earth and growing things that have a fugal relationship with mountains and sky, is essential to the integrity of our existence on this planet. - Ansel Adams , Ansel Adams : An Autobiography by Ansel Adams, Mary Street Alinder (Contributor) , ISBN: 0821222414
The only things in my life that compatibly exist with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.
I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence. Intuition, suspicion, or confidence in new ventures; there is a strange strain within me when advantage is not taken of some situation, the immediacy of recognition of the rightness or wrongness of a mood, a response, a decision - they are so often valid that I am increasingly convinced that we have yet to grasp the reality of existence. - Ansel Adams , Ansel Adams : An Autobiography by Ansel Adams, Mary Street Alinder (Contributor) , ISBN: 0821222414
