Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Everybody we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest. Does it not seem as if man was of a very sly, elusive nature, and dreaded nothing so much as a full rencontre front to front with his fellow?”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays on Manners, Self-Reliance, Compensation, Nature, Friendship

Richard Wagamese
“Standing on the edge of another creek at fifty-five is like years haven’t happened at all. It’s a journey this life, a crossing of creeks on stepping stones where so much comes to depend on maintaining balance on every careful placing of the foot.”
Richard Wagamese, Richard Wagamese Selected: What Comes From Spirit
