Lost Woods

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or woods:

    “Reason, the prized reality, the Law, is apprehended, now and then, for a serene and profound moment, amidst the hubbub of cares and works which have no direct bearing on it;Mis then lost, for months or years, and again found, for an interval, to be lost again. If we compute it in time, we may, in fifty years, have half a dozen reasonable hours.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it than by the woods and swamps that surround it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
