Fear not, then, thou child infirm; There's no god dare wrong a worm. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Never read a book that is not a year old.

A sunset a forest a snow storm a certain river view are more to me than many friends.

Nature is a language and every new fact one learns is a new word; but it is not a language taken to pieces and dead in the dictionary, but the language put together into a most significant and universal sense. I wish to learn this language — not that I may know a new grammar, but that I may read the great book which is written in that tongue.
