Robert Linssen quotes
-
“Let us dig our gardens and not be elsewhere; Let us take long walks in the open air... Let us bathe in the rivers and lakes... Let us indulge in games... Let us be more simple: simple and true in our gestures, in our words, and simple and true in our minds above all. Let us be ourselves.”
-- Robert Linssen -
“Reality is where we are from moment to moment.”
-- Robert Linssen -
