“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“The mountain may be approached more easily and directly on horseback and on foot from the northeast side, by the Aroostook road, and the Wassataquoik River; but in that case you see much less of the wilderness, none of the glorious river and lake scenery, and have no experience of the batteau and the boatman’s life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind?—They are the irrefutable errors of mankind.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
