Take shape in silence. Grow as the clouds grew.

“The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard—it is absurd, unreal, dangerous....

—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
