"That way of viewing things you know of, least insisted on by you, however, least remembered--take that view, adhere to that, insist on that, see all things from that point of view. Will you let these intimations go unattended to and watch the doorbell or knocker? This is your text. Do not speak for other men; speak for yourself. They show you as in a vision the kingdoms of the world, and of all the worlds, but you prefer to look in upon a puppet-show...
Thoughts that blot out the earth are best conceived in the night, when darkness has already blotted it out from sight. We look upward for inspiration."
Henry David Thoreau
