George Washington Carver
American Scientist
Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people, they give up their secrets also - if you love them enough.
Quote examples
Godfrey Reggio
American Director

Quote examples
Diane Ackerman
American Poet

Mary Karr
