"How to extract life's nectar from the flower of the world. That is my every-day business. I am like a bee searching the livelong day for the sweets of nature. Do I not impregnate and intermix the flowers, produce rare and finer varieties by transferring my eyes from one to another? . . . The poor rich man! All he has is what he has bought. What I see is mine."
Henry David Thoreau
