How shall we account for our pursuits, if they are original? We get the language with which to describe our various lives out of acommon mint.
Henry David ThoreauIf a person lost would conclude that after all he is not lost, he is not beside himself, but standing in his own old shoes on thevery spot where he is, and that for the time being he will live there; but the places that have known him, they are lost,--how much anxiety and danger would vanish.
Henry David ThoreauIf the condition of things which we were made for is not yet, what were any reality which we can substitute? We will not be shipwrecked on a vain reality.
