Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society, where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

I love not man the less, but Nature more."

Excerpt from Lord Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

"I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness, A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor--such is my idea of happiness."

Excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's Family Happiness
