• Its, the gum tree, main appeal to me has been its combination of mightiness and delicacy - mighty in its strength of limb and delicate in the colouring of its covering.

In all its stages the gum tree is extremely beautiful.

  L. Ron Hubbard

  Beautiful, Bully, Abuse

• We give up what we want to give up and keep what in some way we still want to keep. There are payoffs for holding on to small, weak patterns. We have an excuse not to shine.

  Marianne Williamson
