—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If all the ways I have been along were marked on a map and joined up with a line, it might represent a minotaur.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
