"We discover a new world every time..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“If I ever see more clearly at one time than at another, the medium through which I see is clearer.”

“The lichen on the rocks is a rude and simple shield which beginning and imperfect Nature suspended there. Still hangs her wrinkledtrophy.”

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. . . . In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.”

“Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.”

“The psychic depths are nature, and nature is creative life.”

“We are so fond of being out among nature, because it has no opinions about us.”

“If you want to discover new oceans, you must first have the courage to leave shore.”

“When the boy begins to understand that the visible point is preceded by an invisible point, that the shortest distance between two points is conceived as a straight line before it is ever drawn with pencil and paper...the fountain of all thought has been opened to him...the philosopher can reveal him nothing new, as a geometrician he has discovered the basis of all thought.”

“Love is like wildflowers;It's often found in the most unlikely places.”
