Henry David Thoreau

Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.

Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

The model should only serve the very private function for the painter of providing the starting point for his excitement.

All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar's teeth.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
