I know I can't own a hilltop, a meadow, or a mountainside. But keeping it a secret somehow makes it mine.

About This Quote

This quote is a testament to the fact that there is no such thing as a hilltop, meadow, or mountainside. These things can only be experienced by those who go looking for them. When we see the beauty of the world around us, we open our eyes and realize that we can’t own anything. We may try to keep it a secret, but it doesn’t make it ours.
