“Ah! I have penetrated to those meadows on the morning of many a first spring day, jumping from hummock to hummock, from willow root to willow root, when the wild river valley and the woods were bathed in so pure and bright a light as would have waked the dead, if they had been slumbering in their graves, as some suppose. There needs no stronger proof of immortality. All things must live in such a light. O Death, where was thy sting? O Grave, where was thy victory, then?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates.

—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
