"As this world becomes increasingly ugly, callous, and materialistic, it needs to be reminded that the old fairy stories are rooted in truth, that imagination is of value, that happy endings do, in fact, occur, and that the blue spring mist that makes anugly street look beautiful is just as real a thing as the street itself. " (Elizabeth Goudge, English author)

"This is the power of gathering- it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful, in a word: more alive." Alice Waters ( Chef and Restauranteur)
