    Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, today and not long after it was completed in 1951. Conceived as a “tree chapel.” Architect Lloyd Wright (son of famous Frank L.W.) said the design was inspired by the great cathedral of redwood forests in northern California. Still one of the most stunning examples of modernist architecture I’ve ever seen.

  10. "I like books that aren’t just lovely but that have memories in themselves. Just like playing a song, picking up a book again that has memories can take you back to another place or another time."
    Emma Watson, Time Magazine (November 2010)
  11. "In reality, every reader, while he is reading, is the reader of his own self. The writer’s work is merely a kind of optical instrument, which he offers to the reader to permit him to discern what, without the book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself. The reader’s recognition in his own self of what the book says is the proof of its truth."
    Marcel Proust, Le temps retrouve. Epigraph from A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki (via epigraphic)
