“Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.” #ThoreauThursday

“At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” #ThoreauThursday

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” #ThoreauThursday

“Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.” #ThoreauThursday

“In the hues of October sunsets, we see the portals to other mansions than those which we occupy.” #ThoreauThursday
