Special Orders

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or orders:

    “Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. In good health, the air is a cordial of incredible virtue. Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
