Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling. —Henry David Thoreau More about this quote Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
We have always had reluctance to see a tract of land which is empty of men as anything but a void. The "waste howling wilderness" of Deuteronomy is typical. The Oxford Dictionary defines wilderness as wild or uncultivated land which is occupied "only" by wild animals. Places not used by us are "wastes." Areas not occupied by us are "desolate." Could the desolation be in the soul of man? —John A. Livingston More about this quote Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

Sometimes you walk past a pretty girl on the street and there's something beyond beauty in her face, something warm and smart and sensual and inviting, and in the three seconds you have to look at her, you actually fall in love, and in those moments, you can actually know the taste of her kiss, the feel of her skin against yours, the sound of her laugh, how she'll look at you and make you whole. And then she's gone, and in the five seconds afterward, you mourn her loss with more sadness than you'll ever admit to. —Jonathan Tropper More about this quote Tags: love beauty time taste kiss Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
