Apart from nature, if need be,
And only its own seasons own;
For nature leaving its humanity.”

It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover that God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know whom I mean.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Misfortune is never invited. And it comes and sits at the table without permission and it eats, leaving nothing but bones.”
