“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time, we are earnest in exploring and learning all things, but we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable. Land and sea are indefinitely wild, unsurveyed, and unfathomed by us because they are unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” ~Henry David Thoreau
