For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Unlike the normal pattern, I know I have grown more liberal as Ive grown older. I have become more convinced that there is room for improvement in the world.”
