| Quotes |
Don Bellows:
Restful here, isn't it? Joyce Heath: The whole countryside seems to have found peace. Don Bellows: A person could find peace too. Joyce Heath: No, you'll only find that in yourself and when you do, you might as well be dead. Don Bellows: Dead? Joyce Heath: Rest In Peace is for tombstones. Don Bellows: And for the living? Joyce Heath: Desire. To want something. To obtain that desire and live up to every moment of it. And then go on leaving yesterday behind. On and on. Higher and higher. See more » |
