“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
― John Muir

“Nature is a haunted house--but Art--is a house that tries to be haunted.”
