There can be no very black melancholy to him who lives in the midst of Nature and has his senses still.
Henry David ThoreauWhen I read some of the rules for speaking and writing the English language correctly, I think any fool can make a rule, and every fool will mind it.
Henry David ThoreauPriests and physicians should never look one another in the face. They have no common ground, nor is there any to mediate betweenthem. When the one comes, the other goes. They could not come together without laughter, or a significant silence, for the one's profession is a satire on the other's, and either's success would be the other's failure.
