Henry David Thoreau
The hawk is aerial brother of the wave which he sails over and surveys, those his perfect air-inflated wings answering to the elemental unfledged pinions of the sea.
Henry David Thoreau
We bless and curse ourselves.
Henry David Thoreau
Let your capital be simplicity and contentment.
Henry David Thoreau
New ideas come into this world somewhat like falling meteors, with a flash and an explosion.
Henry David Thoreau
We must look a long time before we can see
Henry David Thoreau
Nature is full of genius, full of divinity.
