"When I am troubled I run away to nature, much as a wounded animal might. Sometimes I just sit, or stand, or lie; maybe I am at the beach, or in the woods, or my finger are entwined in the fur of some obliging dog. I think it is hard for people who care for me to let me be alone, as they see it, when I am hurting. They do not see that I am letting nature heal me."
- Archer T. Gilliam, "Healing"
