"What a healthy out-of-door appetite it takes..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“We are armed with language adequate to describe each leaf of the filed, but not to describe human character.”

“Truth is always paradoxical.”

“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”

“Life itself is ... a sleep within a sleep.”

“The master sometimes serves, and the servant sometimes is master.”

“If we don't know life, how can we know death?”

“It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.”

“I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.”

“Everyone has experienced that truth: that love, like a running brook, is disregarded, taken for granted; but when the brook freezes over, then people begin to remember how it was when it ran, and they want it to run again.”
