― William Law

“Bad is so bad, that we cannot but think good an accident; good is so good, that we feel certain that evil could be explained.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“It is not all books that are as dull as their readers. There are probably words addressed to our condition exactly, which, if we could really hear and understand, would be more salutary than the morning or the spring to our lives, and possibly put a new aspect on the face of things for us. How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book. The book exists for us perchance which will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered. These same questions that disturb and puzzle and confound us have in their turn occurred to all the wise men; not one has been omitted; and each has answered them, according to his ability, by his words and his life.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.”
― John Calvin
