Henry David Thoreau Quotes
A Truly Good Book Is Something As Natural, And As Unexpectedly And Unaccountably Fair And Perfect, As A Wild-flower Discovered On The Prairies Of The West Or In The Jungles Of The East. Genius Is A Light Which Makes The Darkness Visible, Like The Lightning's Flash, Which Perchance Shatters The Temple Of Knowledge Itself
and Not A Taper Lighted At The Hearthstone Of The Race, Which Pales Before The Light Of Common Day.
