“The lonely mind in the busy city yearns for connection because it thinks human-to-human connection is the point of everything. But amid pure nature (or the ‘tonic of wildness’ as Thoreau called it) solitude took on a different character. It became in itself a kind of connection. A connection between herself and the world. And between her and herself.”

“But I was wrong to weep and beg and try to force you by your love. Love is not a thing to be so used.”

“Is happiness the aim?"
"I don't know. I suppose I want my life to mean something. I want to do something good,”
