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.

Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me?...I think if you just look at life in a positive way...The only reason they come to see me...Animals, they are one of the most beautiful gifts...To live alone is the fate of all great souls...All journeys have secret destinations...
