Literary Nonfiction. Reference. Jonathan Williams, poet, essayist, hiker, photographer, &c. has here gathered quotes from far & wide, from high & low; from Neo-Platonist Thomas Taylor and Henry David Thoreau to Carlos Toadvine and The Town Drunk of Tarboro, North Carolina. A more eclectic quote book would be hard to imagine.
