"I love Nature partly because she is not man, but a retreat from him. None of his institutions control or pervade her . . . In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness. If this world were all man, I could not stretch myself; I should lose all hope. He is constraint, she is freedom to me. He makes me wish for another world. She makes me content with this. None of the joys she supplies is subject to his rules and definitions."
Henry David Thoreau
