There is pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, the music in its roar,

I love not man less, but Nature more.

--Lord Byron

"Nature is my church." --Anon

"Now I know the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth." --Walt Whitman
