"I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself."
Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)

  1. How I wish I could say this someday! I am so lost in other people's opinion and that is the only reason of all the emotional mess ! :)

    Well I wondered if I could verbalize the thought behind the picture and see if it sounds about right?!
    "We get to see another person only through a window from our view and sometimes all that we see in a shadow of that person depending on where they stand and where the light shines! We never know the person is and how it would look under another light - even then it is another shadow?!..."
    So it doesnt matter what others think of us!?...

    What do you do? First you get the pic and then look for a quote or you get a quote and then hunt for a pic? How does the matching happen! I feel quotes are relatively easy to get, in general if one looks for, but the picture 'you' pick to go along seems really interesting!

    The picture reminded me of Peru for sure! :)

  2. Hmmm... Your interpretation has more depth than what I visualized.

    Sometimes the picture comes first, but mostly the quote comes first... then I search for a quote/picture...

    In this case the quote came first...
