Inspirational Quote by Hilary Scharper
““The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity...and some scare see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself. —William Blake (1757-1827)””
