1 " But there was happiness elsewhere which no description can reach. "
― Jane Austen , Mansfield Park
2 " The full measure of a culture embraces both the actions of a people and the quality of their aspirations, the nature of the metaphors that propel their lives. And no description of a people can be complete without reference to the character of their homeland, the ecological and geographical matrix in which they have determined to live out their destiny. Just as a landscape defines character, culture springs from a spirit of place. "
― Wade Davis , The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World (CBC Massey Lecture)
3 " And where there is no Echo there is no description of space or love. There is only silence. "
― Mark Z. Danielewski , House of Leaves
4 " If you have been in the vicinity of the sacred - ever brushed against the holy - you retain it more in your bones than in your head; and if you haven’t, no description of the experience will ever be satisfactory. "
― Daniel Taylor , In Search of Sacred Places: Looking for Wisdom on Celtic Holy Islands
