What Concerns Me Now Is

Nature Provides Exceptions To Every Rule.

Certainly I Do Not Wish That Instead Of These Masters I Had Read Baby Books, Written Down To Children, And With Such Ignorant Dullness That They Blunt The Sense And Corrupt The Tastes Of The Still Plastic Human Being. But I Do Wish That I Had Read No Books At All Till Later - That I Had Lived With Toys, And Played In The Open Air. Children Should Not Cull The Fruits Of Reflection And Observation Early, But Expand In The Sun, And Let Thoughts Come To Them. They Should Not Through Books Antedate Their Actual Experiences.

There Exists In The Minds Of Men A Tone Of Feeling Toward Women As Toward Slaves.

The Civilized Man Is A Larger Mind But A More Imperfect Nature Than The Savage.

I Should Never Stand Alone In This Desert World, But That Manna Would Drop From Heaven, If I Would But Rise With Every Rising Sun To Gather It.
