Conditions are seldom ideal, and if one waits long enough for ideal conditions one is just making excuses.

A Year in the Maine Woods (1995)

I do not yet want to form a hypothesis to test, because as soon as you make a hypothesis, you become prejudiced. Your mind slides into a groove, and once it is in that groove, has difficulty noticing anything outside of it. During this time, my sense must be sharp; that is the main thing — to be sharp, yet open.
