“As for the pyramids, there is nothing to wonder at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Do not lose hold of your dreams or asprirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.”
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”
“Aldo Leopold, the early 20th century's Henry David Thoreau, said that we should think like a mountain, with a sense of permanence and a long view. At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.”
Robert Bateman
“Walden Pond? You mean like Thoreau?”

“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.”
