“Some of the most memorable, and least regrettable, nights of my own youth were spent in coon hunting with farmers. There is no denying that these activities contributed to the economy of farm households, but a further fact is that they were pleasures; they were wilderness pleasures, not greatly different from the pleasures pursued by conservationists and wilderness lovers. As I was always aware, my friends the coon hunters were not motivated just by the wish to tree coons and listen to hounds and listen to each other, all of which were sufficiently attractive; they were coon hunters also because they wanted to be afoot in the woods at night. Most of the farmers I have known, and certainly the most interesting ones, have had the capacity to ramble about outdoors for the mere happiness of it, alert to the doings of the creatures, amused by the sight of a fox catching grasshoppers, or by the puzzle of wild tracks in the snow.”

“Such A Great Treasure This is my lovely daughter With a special place in my life She melts my heart with her smile Calms my nerves with laughter For her, I have so much love Love that will keep her warm On cold winter nights Even when I left ahead of time God took care of her Better than me being there As I watch her from afar I do appreciate That she is truly mine I once held her in my arms And she named me her mom What a privilege it was To birth such a great treasure!”

“I'm grotesque." "You are pink and rather hairless. Like a baby, and people love babies." Actually, she looked more like the hairless cat his aunt Ludmilla had favoured more than any of her children, but that seemed an impolite thing to say to a lady. Ehri did not wish to be charmed. "Must you make a joke of everything?" "I must. By royal mandate and the curse of my own disposition. I find life quite unbearable without laughter.”
