There are many minds that would not for an instant doubt the God of Nature to have existed from all Eternity, and would yet reject as preposterous the idea of going back a million of years in the History of His Works. Yet what is a million, or a million million, of solar revolutions to an Eternity?

• I think history is going to repeat itself. We brought a little of the beach-into-the-casual dining concept and now we're doing the same thing amongst all the marble with our wood floors. We have 25,000 rooms within a couple of blocks of us, so we're right there nestled amongst the big guys.

Humanity has always had a nostalgia for the freedom that is only beauty, that is only real; life, plenitude, light.
