I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Henry David Thoreau

I wish I were with some of the wild people that run in the woods, and know nothing about accomplishments!
Joanna Baillie

Peter Benchley

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
Henry David Thoreau

If you got the game, you got the game. That's why Tiger Woods is out there playing golf with Greg Norman.

John Fowles

Into The Woods was... a lot of running around in the woods! I can't wait to see the show again. People didn't realize it back then, but kids still come up to me-young people-and they talk about it. It really made its mark.
Bernadette Peters

It was way out in the woods in a beautiful, huge log studio. Keith Richards came in and did the vocals with Levon. Again, a big party, but we did get a good cut out of it.
Scotty Moore

It's sometimes better to pretend I don't hear the sound of somebody in the nearby woods with a shotgun.
Dashiell Hammett

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
John Muir

Man is a great blunderer going about in the woods, and there is no other except the bear makes so much noise.
Mary Austin

Mathematical discoveries, like springtime violets in the woods, have their season which no man can hasten or retard.
Janos Bolyai

My children, as long as you live, the shadow of the Hiss Case will brush you. In every pair of eyes that rests on you, you will see pass, like a cloud passing behind a woods in winter, the memory of your father - dissembled in friendly eyes, lurking in unfriendly eyes.
Whittaker Chambers

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.
George Washington Carver

Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.
William Allingham

Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns Into a royal court with green festoons The banks of dark lagoons.
Henry Timrod

Rationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods, but a new metaphysics can rescue us.
Huston Smith
