—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I hated her now with a hatred more fatal than indifference because it was the other side of love.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
“You boast of spending a tenth part of your income in charity; maybe you should spend the nine tenths so, and done with it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
