    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
