• Muy pocos hombres pueden hablar de la Naturaleza, por ejemplo, con verdad. De un modo u otro, sobrepasan su modestia y no le hacen ningún favor. La mayoría lloran mejor de lo que hablan, y se les puede sacar más naturaleza pellizcándoles que dirigiéndoles la palabra. La hosquedad con que el leñador habla de sus bosques, manejándolos con tanta indiferencia como su hacha, es mejor que el entusiasmo harinoso del amante de la naturaleza. Es mejor que la prímula junto a la orilla del río sea una prímula amarilla, y nada más, a que sea algo menos.

  Henry David Thoreau
