“How hard to realize that every camp of men or beast has this glorious starry firmament for a roof! In such places standing alone on the mountain-top it is easy to realize that whatever special nests we make - leaves and moss like the marmots and birds, or tents or piled stone - we all dwell in a house of one room - the world with the firmament for its roof - and are sailing the celestial spaces without leaving any track.” MenWorldHardHouseEasyNatureRealizingSpaceRoomsSpecialMountainBirdStandingStonesLeavingTrackBeastGloriousWildernessCampsRoofSailingNestsCelestialTentsMossCampingStanding AloneFirmamentMountain Top Book:John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir Source: John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir

“Some of my best sources are ex-policemen, just to get a feeling of what it's like to be one. And it's quite different from being a civilian - except, of course, that I believe that policemen are just special sorts of civilians. Things like how hard it is to hold someone that doesn't want to be held. This is the kind of thing that is worth knowing.” WantBelieveKindDifferentHardFeelingsCoursesI BelieveKnowingSpecialSourceExesCiviliansPolicemen Author:Terry Pratchett
“Surfing is very special and unique. It's really hard to explain unless you've tried it. It's being out in the ocean in the sun, the water on your skin, and the adrenalin rush when you catch a wave. You have to be creative so it's like an art form in a way.” WayArtHardFormWaterSunCreativeSpecialOceanUniqueSkinsWaveBe CreativeSurfing Author:Bethany Hamilton
