BEST QUOTES EVER

The Parang Mountains - just black and white

“All the birds have flown up and gone;

A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.

We never tire of looking at each other -

Only the mountain and I.”

Li Po - Alone Looking at The Mountain

You ask me why I live on Green Mountain ?

I smile in silence and the quiet mind.

Peach petals blow on mountain streams

To earths and skies beyond Humankind.

After the rain, the empty mountain at dusk is full of autumn air.

A bright moon shines between the pines;

The clear spring water glides over the rocks.

Bamboo leaves rustling — the washer-girls bound home.

Water lilies swaying — a fisher-boat goes down.

Never mind that spring plants are no longer green.

I am here to stay my noble friends!

I can't do with mountains at close quarters - they are always in the way, and they are so stupid, never moving and never doing anything but obtrude themselves.

I still love to walk in the mountains or be on the sea. I like to be in nature. Sometimes I bicycle. It's important to feel good with your body. The body is extremely important. If you feel good, you have more energy in your singing.

It's wonderful to be back. Back among the mountains that remind us of our vulnerability, our ultimate lack of control over the world we live in. Mountains that demand humility, and yield so much peace in return.

Flowers...

„Flowers are love's truest language.” Park Benjamin

Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.

"Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul." The Koran

Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.

„Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.” Heinrich Heine

„I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.” Emma Goldman

Flowers are the perfect way to show your feelings for someone you love.

“ Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.” Henry Beecher

“Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow.” Antonio Porchia

The Parang Mountains - winter

Mountains have always been a refuge for people and will probably continue to be.

Situated in the west side of Southern Carpathians, Parang Mountains (called one of Europe last “hidden gems”) form the eastern barrier of the Jiu Valley. The highest peak is Parangu Mare – 2518m and offers a spectacular view.

The Parang mountains are located in the south-western part of the Central-Meridional Carpathians. They are the tallest mountains from the local Parang-Cindrel mountain group and the second largest mountains in the Romanian Carpathians after the Fagaras mountains. They are situated between the Sureanu mountains (north), Latoritei mountains (north-east), Căpăţânii mountains (east), Valcanu mountains (west) and the Petrosani depression in the north-west.

These mountains are the perfect location to lose yourself in the misty landscape and mild springs, to step on the blossom field and feel you free. Villagers’ smile gives you a feeling of inner peace that makes you want to come back there. I’ll share with you some pictures: enjoy!

“A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.” Sivananda

“There's a world out there, and you've got to look at both sides of the mountain in your lifetime.” Bill Janklow

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” Edmund Hillary

“Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.”

"I've learned that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.”

"Only when you've been in the deepest valley can you know how magnificent it is to be atop the highest mountain." Richard M. Nixon

"The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones." Chinese proverb

“I owned the world that hour as I rode over it. free of the earth, free of the mountains, free of the clouds, but how inseparably I was bound to them.” Charles Lindbergh
