Finished Walden a little bit back, and I'll have some of those quotes to add when I get my bits of paper squared away, but in the mean time I've grabbed a few from Ralph Waldo Emerson as I start to read a book of his Essential Writings.
"All the world is taken in through the eyes, to reach the soul, where it becomes more, representative of a realm deeper than appearances: a realm ideal and sublime, the deep stillness that is..."
"The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon."
and one that I don't necessarily agree with:
"There is no object so foul that intense light will not make beautiful."
I'm not too far into Emerson yet, but am enjoying it thus far.
