“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

To my world:

my Mother and my Father

“You look at that river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs. In the distance you hear a cow. You feel the grass. The mud gives a little bit on the river bank.

It’s quiet; it’s peaceful. And all of a sudden, it’s a gear shift inside you. And it’s like taking a deep breath and going... 'Oh yeah, I forgot about this'”.

Al Gore in the opening monologue of An Inconvenient Truth
