No mirror ever became iron again; _x000D_ _x000D_ No bread ever became wheat; _x000D_ _x000D_ No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. _x000D_ _x000D_ Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. _x000D_ _x000D_ Become the light.

Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon field; the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgundy red, the fields the color of love and Spanish mysteries. I stuck my head out the window and took deep breaths of the fragant air. It was the most beautiful of all moments.
Jack KerouacRead
