Woods Quotes

I’d never expected my first time to be in a cabin in the woods, but I realized the place didn’t matter. The person did. With someone you loved, you could be anywhere, and it would be incredible. Being in the most luxurious bed in the world wouldn’t matter if you were with someone you didn’t love Picture Quote #1

I am an orphan, alone: nevertheless I am found everywhere. I am one, but opposed to myself. I am youth and old man at one and the same time. I have known neither father nor mother, because I have had to be fetched out of the deep like a fish, or fell like a white stone from heaven. In woods and mountains I roam, but I am hidden in the innermost soul of man. I am mortal for everyone, yet I am not touched by the cycle of aeons Picture Quote #1

Never having been in love, this is going to be a real trick. I think of my parents. The way my father never failed to bring her gifts from the woods. The way my mother’s face would light up at the sound of his boots at the door. The way she almost stopped living when he died Picture Quote #1

Woods are not like other spaces. To begin with, they are cubic. Their trees surround you, loom over you, press in from all sides. Woods choke off views and leave you muddled and without bearings. They make you feel small and confused and vulnerable, like a small child lost in a crowd of strange legs. Stand in a desert or prairie and you know you are in a big space. Stand in the woods and you only sense it. They are vast, featureless nowhere. And they are alive Picture Quote #1

The people resemble a wild beast, which, naturally fierce and accustomed to live in the woods, has been brought up, as it were, in a prison and in servitude, and having by accident got its liberty, not being accustomed to search for its food, and not knowing where to conceal itself, easily becomes the prey of the first who seeks to incarcerate it again Picture Quote #1

Mounting toward the upland again, I pause reverently, as the hush and stillness of twilight come upon the woods. It is the sweetest, ripest hour of the day. And as the hermit’s evening hymn goes up from the deep solitude below me, I experience that serene exaltation of sentiment of which music, literature, and religion are but the faint types and symbols Picture Quote #1

I have heard of a man lost in the woods and dying of famine and exhaustion at the foot of a tree, whose loneliness was relieved by the grotesque visions with which, owing to bodily weakness, his diseased imagination surrounded him, and which he believed to be real. So also, owing to bodily and mental health and strength, we may be continually cheered by a like but more normal and natural society, and come to know that we are never alone Picture Quote #1

The true husbandman will cease from anxiety, as the squirrels manifest no concern whether the woods will bear chestnuts this year or not, and finish his labor with every day, relinquishing all claim to the produce of his fields, and sacrificing in his mind not only his first but last fruits also Picture Quote #1

I long for wildness, a nature which I cannot put my foot through, woods where the wood thrush forever sings, where the hours are early morning ones, and there is dew on the grass, and the day is forever unproved, where I might have a fertile unknown for a soil about me Picture Quote #1

When the blackberries hang swollen in the woods, in the brambles nobody owns, I spend all day among the high branches, reaching my ripped arms, thinking of nothing, cramming the black honey of summer into my mouth; all day my body accepts what it is. In the dark creeks that run by there is this thick paw of my life darting among the black bells, the leaves; there is this happy tongue Picture Quote #1

Whenever we touch nature we get clean. People who have got dirty through too much civilization take a walk in the woods, or a bath in the sea. Entering the unconscious, entering yourself through dreams, is touching nature from the inside and this is the same thing, things are put right again Picture Quote #1

Of course it is of no use to direct our steps to the woods, if they do not carry us thither. I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit... What business have I in the woods, if I am thinking of something out of the woods? Picture Quote #1

From across the woods, as if by common accord, birds left their trees and darted upward. I joined them, flew amount them, they did not recognize me as something apart from them, and I was happy, so happy, because for the first time in years, and forevermore, I had not killed, and never would Picture Quote #1

When it was proposed to me to go abroad, rub oft some rust, and better my condition in a worldly sense, I fear lest my life will lose some of its homeliness. If these fields and streams and woods, the phenomena of nature here, and the simple occupations of the inhabitants should cease to interest and inspire me, no culture or wealth would atone for the loss Picture Quote #1

As I came home through the woods with my string of fish, trailing my pole, it being now quite dark, I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented Picture Quote #1

You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters Picture Quote #1

Mathematical discoveries, like springtime violets in the woods, have their season which no man can hasten or retard Picture Quote #1

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, and the dimpling stream runs laughing by; when the air does laugh with our merry wit, and the green hill laughs with the noise of it Picture Quote #1

I was a hunter and fisherman, and many a time I have slipped out into the woods and prairies at 4 a. M. And brought home plenty of game, or have gone in a canoe to the cove and brought back a good supply of fresh fish Picture Quote #1

There is a number among us, young and old, of all sorts almost among us, that swarm up and down towns, and woods, and fields, whose care and work hitherto hath been like bees, only to get honey to their own hive Picture Quote #1

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep Picture Quote #1

At last he rose, and twitched his mantle blue: Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new Picture Quote #1

The parish I live in is a very abrupt, uneven country, full of hills and woods, and therefore full of birds Picture Quote #1

Love had he found in huts where poor men lie; His daily teachers had been woods and rills, the silence that is in the starry sky, the sleep that is among the lonely hills Picture Quote #1

Life is like getting dropped off in the middle of the woods, and then year by year, gradually walking home Picture Quote #1

The woods were made for the hunters of dreams, the brooks for the fishers of song; to the hunters who hunt for the gunless game the streams and the woods belong Picture Quote #1

Read the folklore masters. Go to galleries. Walk in the woods. That’s what you need to be an artist or storyteller Picture Quote #1

As to our garden and yard, we have all the woods. And the wilderness is our only cloister, for our house is like an oak tree planted therein Picture Quote #1

The woods decay, the woods decay and fall, the vapors weep their burthen to the ground, man comes and tills the field and lies beneath, and after many a summer dies the swan Picture Quote #1

I start early in the morning. I’m usually out in the woods with the dog as soon as it gets light; then I drink a whole lot of tea and start as early as I can, and I go as long as I can Picture Quote #1
