"Country people tend to consider that they have a corner on righteousness and to distrust most manifestations of cleverness, while people in the city are leery of righteousness but ascribe to themselves all manner of cleverness."

"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."

"Turtles are a kind of bird with the governor turned low."

- Edward Hoagland born 12/21/1932

Author of many Nature and Personal Essays, The Courage of Turtles and many more.
