Stormy Clouds

"I love Nature partly because she is not man, but a retreat from him. None of his institutions control or pervade her. There are different kind of right prevails. In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness. If this world were all man, I could not stretch myself, I should lose all hope. He is constraint, she is freedom to me. He makes me wish for another world. She makes me content with this."
- Henry David Thoreau

Blue Sky Peeking Through

"How important is a constant intercourse with nature and the contemplation of natural phenomena
to the preservation of moral and intellectual health!"
- Henry David Thoreau
