Fire Quote by Haruki Murakami
““A fire can be any shape it wants to be. It's free. So it can look like anything at all, depending on what's inside the person looking at it. If you get this deep, quiet kind of feeling when you look at a fire, that's because it's showing you the deep, quiet kind of feeling you have inside yourself...””

![“Next came the Patent laws. These began in England in 1624; and, in this country, with the adoption of our constitution.
