"A slight sound at evening lifts me..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“There were three classes of inhabitants who either frequent or inhabit the country which we had now entered: first, the loggers, who, for a part of the year, the winter and spring, are far the most numerous, but in the summer, except for a few explorers for timber, completely desert it; second, the few settlers I have named, the only permanent inhabitants, who live on the verge of it, and help raise supplies for the former; third, the hunters, mostly Indians, who range over it in their season.”

“What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?”

“The whole of the day should not be daytime; there should be one hour, if not more, which the day did not bring forth.”

“Over all the mountain tops is peace.”

“What were all the world's alarms To mighty Paris when he found Sleep upon a golden bed That first dawn in Helen's arms?”

“No, my son, do not aspire for wealth and labor not only to be rich. Strive instead for happiness, to be loved and to love, and most important to acquire peace of mind and serenity.”

“Look, what envious streaks do lace the severing clouds in yonder east! Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day stands tip-toe on the misty mountain-tops.”

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.”

“In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.”
