Quotes About Appreciation

You will never regret it.

When something that can never quite be reenacted comes to an end (and all moments are that way), I feel a pensiveness within.

And those moments take on double meaning and richness - because they are here now - and because they will not always be.

Statesmen despise publicists, painters despise art-critics, and physiologists, physicists, or mathematicians have usually similar feelings: there is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.

It's where the flowers are yours, not God's.
