“Talk not to me of the beauties of the ballroom. The pleasures of the billiard table or card party.

I am an admirer of Nature in her roughest mood. It fills my soul with a terrified pleasure to hear the reverberating of the crashing thunder amid the chasms of the rock.”

- - Gabriel Furman Remarks, November 6, 1816, volume 2, page 11-12; Gabriel Furman Papers, ARC. 190, box 1, folder 1; Brooklyn Historical Society
