    “Fresh curls spring from the baldest brow. There is nothing inorganic.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “How old the world is! I walk between two eternities.... What is my fleeting existence in comparison with that decaying rock, that valley digging its channel ever deeper, that forest that is tottering and those great masses above my head about to fall? I see the marble of tombs crumbling into dust; and yet I don’t want to die!”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
