Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe 1749

There can be no very black misery to him who lives in the midst of Nature and has his senses still.

Henry David Thoreau

Christianity exhorted man to set himself up against Nature, but did so in the name of his spiritual and disinterested attributes. Pragmatism exhorts him to do so in the name of his practical attributes.

Julien Benda
