I cannot spare my moonlight and my mountains for the best of man I am likely to get in exchange.


"I feel the necessity of deepening the stream of my life; I must cultivate privacy.  It is very dissipating to be with people too much.  As C. says, it takes the edge off a person's thoughts to have been too much in society.  I cannot spare my moonlight and my mountains for the best of man I am likely to get in exchange."

Henry David Thoreau
