And to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war, is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap Picture Quote #1

It becomes possible to admit that plainness may coexist with nobility of nature, and fine features with baseness; and yet to hold that mental and physical perfection are fundamentally connected, and will, when the present causes of incongruity have worked themselves out, be ever found united Picture Quote #1

There was a nobility in poverty when I was growing up. My mom was poor but she was planting roses and she was cleaning the steps, you know what I mean. You didn’t feel sorry for yourself Picture Quote #1
