    “Letter-writing too often degenerates into a communicating of facts, and not of truths; of other men’s deeds and not our thoughts. What are the convulsions of a planet, compared with the emotions of the soul? or the rising of a thousand suns, if that is not enlightened by a ray?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.”
