In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play. ~Friedrich Nietzsche
So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
~Gaston Bachelard
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. ~Pablo Picasso
Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do. ~Jean de la Bruyere
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult. ~Sigmund Freud
A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. ~Rachel Carson

Beautiful shots. All is simply pure and white around here, and darned cold in My Muskoka !
All gorgeous my friend. I love the 4th one and the 4th one is soooo true. I love it. Have a wonderful Sunday PhQB
i love this post - a great reminder to be enthusiastic and not lose the sense of wonder.
Lovely photos, Sylvia. I remember reading about an artist who said one of the most difficult things was to draw like a child. I remember not understanding that at that time. I do now.
Most of the unreal men want to play too.
Your photos and quotes add to a peaceful weekend. I don't feel much like thinking, just want to unwind.
Hope you are relaxed. fond ly
Picasso was so right.
You have brought calm to the wilderness. Thanks I needed that. Loved your pics.
So beautiful. I love the last quote but enjoyed them all.
every one of these quotes is so wonderful and true. How appropriate to the season.
For all those reasons as in the quotes, Sylvia, they say 'Child is the father of man'. Enjoyed them and as always those pics so beautifully captured.
excellent selection of quotes and beautiful photos
What wonderful words to live by!
That bottom photo is my favourite tonight I think; I like the light that shines through all that dark. Beautiful!
I always come for the photos and the quotes, Sylvia! Have a Happy Holiday!
