    “I think of no news to tell you. It is a serene summer day here, all above the snow. The hens steal their nests, and I steal their eggs still, as formerly. This is what I do with the hands. Ah, labor,—it is a divine institution, and conversation with many men and hens.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The ironies in the commonplace are my inspiration and delight.”
