More From Henry David Thoreau
- "Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another?"
- "Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand."
- "A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting."
