“A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”
~~ Henry David Thoreau, Walden

“This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.”
~~ Theodore Roethke, The Collected Poems

“Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him?” ~~ Bill Watterson
