"To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour." William Blake (1757-1827), poet, artist Auguries of Innocence (1863)	"The past is what you leave behind in life." 'Nonsense, Patricia, the past is what you take with you." Kate Atkinson (1951-), writer   behind the scenes at the museum (1995)	"Creation of something out of nothing is the most primitive of human passions and the most optimistic." Christina Stead (1902–1983), writer The Writers Take Sides, report on the First International Congress of Writers, Paris, June 1935, The Left Review (1935)

"Proportion ... You can’t help thinking about it in these London streets, where it doesn’t exist.... It’s like listening to a symphony
 of cats to walk along them. Senseless discords and a horrible disorder all the way.... A concert of Brobdingnagian cats. Order has been turned
into a disgusting chaos.  We need no barbarians from outside; they’re on the premises, all the time."  

INDEX for THE BIGGER PICTURE

"There, lying half-buried in the thick, cool under-hedge tangle that bordered it, he could muse on the metalled road and all the
 wondrous world that it led to; on all the wayfarers, too, that might have trodden it, and the fortunes and adventures they had
gone to seek or found unseeking—out there, beyond—beyond!"  

Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932), writer  "The Wind in the Willows"  (1908)
