Quote

The thornbush is the old obstacle in the road. It must catch fire if you want to go further

All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child

What a book a devil's chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering, low, and horribly cruel work of nature!

All of nature is a battlefield

If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin

Give me books, fruit, French wine and fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by someone I do not know
