Go forth, under the open sky, and list To Nature's teachings.
(William Cullen Bryant)
If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion.

I go to my solitary woodland walks as the homesick return to their homes.
(Henry David Thoreau)
My dad is a bank president and my mom was an accountant and they didn't think that seeking the life of a freelance writer was very practical, you see. Of course, I was just as determined to do it.
(Kevin J. Anderson)
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life. Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today. What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of man can achieve.

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Dont open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
(Rumi)
A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday. Not because he likes it but because he can't think of anything else to do.
(W. H. Auden)
Not only has wilderness been a force in molding our character as a people, but its influence continues, and will, if we are wise enough to preserve it on this continent, be a stabilizing power as well as a spiritual reserve for the future.
