Life is an experimental journey undertaken involuntarily. It is a journey of the spirit through the material world and, since it is the spirit that travels, it is the spirit that is experienced. That is why there exist contemplative souls who have lived more intensely, more widely, more tumultuously than others who have lived their lives purely externally. - Fernando Pessoa

A journalist is supposed to present an unbiased portrait of an event, a view devoid of intimate emotions. This is impossible, of course. The framing of an image, by its very composition, represents a choice. The photographer chooses what to show and what to exclude. - Alexandra Kerry

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself the time to do what you want to do. - Leontyne Price

It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds: a Harvard education and a Yale degree. - John F. Kennedy

Do you love elephants? Allow me to present you my book: Proboscidea - The Emotional Lives of Elephants. This book was produced to inspire, inform and educate by bringing people closer to elephants through positive and emotive imagery and interesting text.

What makes this book different to other elephant books? Are books even ethical to produce any more? This book is carbon neutral made with 100 percent recycled French paper, using non-toxic inks, made in Germany at one of the finest printers under fair conditions - making it uniquely green.

I love elephants and I don't want to see them disappear.
