“…do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not~ quite, the not~yet, the not ~ at~ all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”
~Ayn Rand

Thanks for sharing this amazing quote and the laugh over your addition, and the photo is spectacular (I need new adjectives to properly describe how much I adore your photography!). I am crazy for turquoise and purple, plus the rough-hewn table and the focus on the cherub-faced planter… it’s breath taking. Lovely!!
