"Let a slight snow come and cover..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“I was not designed to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest.”

“I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.”

“Expect no trivial truth from me, unless I am on the witness- stand. I will come as near to lying as you can drive a coach and four.”

“As I love nature, as I love singing birds...I love thee, my friend.”

“Becoming conscious is of course a sacrilege against nature; it is as though you had robbed the unconscious of something.”

“Surely the apple is the noblest of fruits.”

“If you are describing any occurrence... make two or more distinct reports at different times... We discriminate at first only a few features, and we need to reconsider our experience from many points of view and in various moods in order to perceive the whole.”

“The more the change, the more it is the same thing.”

“Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence; he observes closely, and he enjoys his observation: for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life.”
