Here is my second version of my web site, this time featuring 
quotes from the Canadian author Hugh Maclennan. Remnants 
of my previous website, featuring Oscar Wilde quotes, can be 
found here.

My goal with this version is to create a website that is simpler 
and yet more personal - a website that reflects a shift from the style
of expression of Oscar Wilde to the style of expression of Hugh MacLennan.
 
"In the relatively rare periods in the past that we call civilized, 
people understood that a civilization is like a garden cultivated 
in a jungle. As flowers and vegetables grow from cultivated seeds, 
so do civilizations grow from carfully studied, diligently examined 
ideas and perceptions. In nature, if there are no gardeners, the 
weeds that need no cultivation take over the garden and destroy it."
Hugh MacLennan, Voices in Time

"They feel sure that a time will come when human beings 
will be let alone to follow their own bents, to be joyful and adventurous, 
to entertain gracious thoughts and be responsible for their own 
actions and the work of their hands. They are discovering entirely on
their own the excitement of moral philosophy."
Hugh MacLennan, Voices in Time

"Every man has to act according to some principles...he must make 
his life aim at something."
Hugh MacLennan, Two Solitudes

"He would see to it that the battle to become himself would remain a private one."
Hugh MacLennan, Two Solitudes
