character
and thought
"I am more and more inclined
to reduce my baggage...
to become more and more in love
with simple things and simple folk-
a small house, a hut in the woods,
a tent on the shore.
The show and splendor of great houses,
elaborate furnishings, stately halls,
oppress me; impose upon me.
They fix the attention on false values,
they set up a false standard of beauty;
they stand between me and
the real feeders of character and thought."
- John Burroughs
