Henry David Thoreau Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: July 12, 1817 - May 6, 1862
Birthday: July 12
Death: May 6
Nature must be viewed humanly to be viewed at all; that is, her scenes must be associated with humane affections, such as are associated with one's native place. She is most significant to a lover. A lover of Nature is preeminently a lover of man. If I have no friend, what is Nature to me? She ceases to be morally significant. . .
