But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view. Aldo Leopold

One could mention many lovable traits in Smee. For instance, after killing, it was his spectacles he wiped instead of his weapon. J. M. Barrie
Nowadays almost all man's improvements, so called, as the building of houses, and the cutting down of the forest and of all large trees, simply deform the landscape, and make it more tame and cheap... and some worldly miser with a surveyor looking after his bounds, while heaven had taken place around him, and he did not see the angles going to and fro, but was looking for an old post-hole in the midst of paradise. I looked again, and saw him standing in the middle of a boggy, stygian, fen,... Henry David Thoreau
Nicholas Sparks quote: "What are we, after all, without our memories? without our dreams?"
What are we, after all, without our memories? without our dreams? Nicholas Sparks

That is what life means and what life is for. George Leigh Mallory
