“Nature has taken more care than the fondest parent for the education and refinement of her children.

When I walk in the woods, I am reminded that a wise purveyor has been there before me; my most delicate experience is typified there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The solitary knows the essence of the thought, the scholar in society only its fair face.”
