“In German, the word Herzensbildung means “training one’s heart to see the humanity of another.””
Quotes by S. S. Pugh
“... all sorts of wonderful things got washed up on the beach – crates of clothes and cutlery and children’s toys, boxes of engine parts and television screens and electrical wires like tangled snakes in the water.
