Text Quotes
The heart looks into space to be away from earth  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) The lover of nature has the highest art in his soul  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Now is eternity; now is the immortal life  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Grief falls upon human beings as the rain, not selecting good or evil, visiting the innocent, condemning those who have done no wrong.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) A kestrel can and does hover in the dead calm of summer days, when there is not the faintest breath of wind. He will, and does, hover in the still, soft atmosphere of early autumn, when the gossamer falls in showers, coming straight down as if it were raining silk  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) When even the most strictly logical mind looks round and investigates the phenomena attending its own existence, perhaps the first fact to attract attention by its strongly marked prominence is the remarkable loneliness of man. He stands alone  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Look at another person while living; the soul is not visible, only the body which it animates. Therefore, merely because after death the soul is not visible is no demonstration that it does not still live  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Science, as illustrated by the printing press, the telegraph, the railway, is a double-edged sword. At the same moment that it puts an enormous power in the hands of the good man, it also offers an equal advantage to the evil disposed  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Beauty - what is beauty, forsooth? Form and color; that is, surface only. Fortune - what is fortune? Nothing is ever a pleasure or a real profit to him who has to labour for it. Truth - you die in the pursuit, and the sea beats the beach as it did a thousand years ago. The stolid are alone happy.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Every woman likes her own way, but no woman can endure to see another woman master even over a man who does not concern her.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) To the darkness and the night, the spirits seem to have a natural claim - it is their realm; the boldest of us have sometimes felt an unaccountable creeping in the thick darkness  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) I believe in the human form; let me find something, some method, by which that form may achieve the utmost beauty.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) The impression left after watching the motions of birds is that of extreme mobility - a life of perpetual impulse checked only by fear.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Almost every labourer has his Sunday suit, very often really good clothes, sometimes glossy black, with the regulation ‘chimney pot’. His unfortunate walk betrays him, dress how he will.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) To the darkness and the night, the spirits seem to have a natural claim - it is their realm; the boldest of us have sometimes felt an unaccountable creeping in the thick darkness.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) An inspiration - a long, deep breath of the pure air of thought - could alone give health to the heart.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) The heart has a yearning for the unknown, a longing to penetrate the deep shadow and the winding glade, where, as it seems, no human foot has been.  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) The workman in the true sense of the word - the artist in guns - is either extinct, or hidden in an obscure corner. There is no individuality about modern guns. One is exactly like another  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) There are people in this servile world who will endure any trampling, and at the first beck rush delightedly to proffer their assistance  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Ever since the world began, it has been the belief of mankind that desolate places are the special haunt of supernatural beings  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) I believe in the human form; let me find something, some method, by which that form may achieve the utmost beauty  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) The impression left after watching the motions of birds is that of extreme mobility - a life of perpetual impulse checked only by fear  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) To the soul, there is no past and no future; all is, and will be ever, in now. For artificial purposes time is mutually agreed on, but there is really no such thing  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) An inspiration - a long, deep breath of the pure air of thought - could alone give health to the heart  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Every woman likes her own way, but no woman can endure to see another woman master even over a man who does not concern her  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Grief falls upon human beings as the rain, not selecting good or evil, visiting the innocent, condemning those who have done no wrong  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) The great sea makes one a great sceptic  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) Every man has a right to be poor  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) The lost leaves measure our years; they are gone as the days are gone  (Richard Jefferies Quotes) I have observed that almost all those whose labour lies in the field, and who go down to their business in the green meadows, admit the animal world to a share in the faculty of reason. It is the cabinet makers who construct a universe of automatons  (Richard Jefferies Quotes)
