As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.”

My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.”
