Kapp Hifsa Ashraf and Oscar Luparia – Collaboration Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations. Ralph Waldo Emerson There are no variations except for those who know a norm, and no subtleties for those who have not grasped the obvious. — C.S. Lewis There are infinitely many variations of the initial situation and therefore no doubt indefinitely many theorems of moral geometry. — John Rawls It struck me that favourable variations would tend to be preserved and unfavourable ones tend to be destroyed — Charles Darwin Water Source and earthbound substance in endless theme and variation. There is need of rest, renewal and appreciation of the ever-changing landscape. — Lynne Hurd Bryant Repetition makes us feel secure and variation makes us feel free. Robert Hass
