The new series Elements, from Applewood Books, celebrates four basic elements of life: air, fire, water, and earth. These beautiful little books are meant to delight the hand, eye, and mind and inspire even the hardest of hearts. These elements are in our nature, and throughout history our poets, philosophers, scientists, and humanitarians have mused on these simple subjects. Here is a collection of inspirational quotes to intrigue nature lovers, dreamers, or those born under one or more of these elements’ influence.
