“All our Concord waters have two colors at least; one when viewed at a distance, and another, more proper, close at hand.... Walden is blue at one time and green at another, even from the same point of view. Lying between the earth and the heavens, it partakes of the color of both.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.”
