“To enjoy, to question—never to assume, or trample. Thus the great ones (my great ones, who may not be the same as your great ones) have taught me—to observe with passion, to think with patience, to live always care-ingly. . . inherited devotions of curiosity and respect.”
— Mary Oliver, Winter Hours: Prose, Prose Poems, and Poems
