John Muir
Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature's forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle.

Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not...I live my life like everyone else...The beauty comes with the balance...It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins...I don't fear anything...If you just try long enough and hard enough...
