Gary Snyder

Earth is the holiest place in the Universe, loving the earth, and loving life is the way to generate positive vibrations.

Amit Ray

Annie Dillard

Here cometh April again, and as far as I can see the world hath more fools in it than ever.

Charles Lamb

When I was about ten years old, I gave my teacher an April Fool's sandwich, which had a dead goldfish in it.
