Alchemy Quote by Curtis Ackie
““As though eavesdropping, the whistling wind refuses to speak above a whisper. The winding road is cut into the side of the mountain in such a way that it seems they are not making any progress; the walk down will require endurance. She looks up at the cluster of clouds which have been pencilled in neatly against the sky, and hopes it doesn’t rain. It occurs rapidly, a geisha brusquely folding shut her fan; the sun sets, and brilliant darkness replaces light.””

![“Everybody can close their eyes, picture a dream house or a perfect place [where] they'd like to have a picnic. But actually creating it - how do you create something from nothing? Anyone who's creative understands that that's the magic, that's the alchemy.” quote by Billy Corgan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1ab/billy-corgan-1014_alchemy_everybody-can-close-their-eyes-picture-a_86053.jpg)
