“Any fool can write a book and most of them are doing it; but it takes brains to build a house.”
Charles Fletcher Lummis

“I am bigger than anything that can happen to me.
All these things, sorrow, misfortune, and suffering, are outside my door.
I am in the house, and I have the key.”
Charles Lummis

“Not far back into the foothills from Colorado Springs begins the Garden of the Gods — a wonderland fitly named. Here, walled in by rock-bound peaks, is a wild glen of 2000 acres, and in it, amid the murmuring pines, a hundred colossal towers and castles, pinnacles and battlements hewn by time from the deep red sandstone.”
Charles F. Lummis, A Tramp Across the Continent
