The whole journey was odd and dream-like -- the roaring stream, the wet grey grass, the glimmering cliffs which they were approaching, and always the glorious, silently pacing beast ahead. C. S. Lewis
Henry David Thoreau quote: "I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which,..."
I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright. Henry David Thoreau
William Shakespeare quote: "Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven."
Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven. William Shakespeare

The individual feels the nothingness of human desires and aims and the sublimity and marvelous order which reveal themselves both in Nature and in the world of though. He looks upon individual existence as a sort of prison and wants to experience the universe as a single significant whole. Albert Einstein
I know a rock in a highland's ravine, On which only eagles might ever be seen, But a black wooden cross o'er a precipice reigns, It rots and it ages from tempests and rains. And many years have gone without any hints, From times when it was seen from faraway hills. And its every arm is raised up to the sky, As if catching clouds or going to fly. Oh, if I were able to rise there and stay, Then how I'd cry there and how I'd pray; And then I would throw off real life's chains. And live as a... Mikhail Lermontov
Hunches [are] just messages from the subconscious, which [is] thinking furiously all the time and processing information we have not consciously noted. Dean Koontz
We are, all of us, creatures of habit, and when the seeeming necessity for schooling ourselves in new ways ceases to exist, we fall naturally and easily into the manner and customs which long usage has implanted ineradicably within us. Edgar Rice Burroughs
