However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.

Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
We must have infinite faith in each other. If we have not, we must never let it leak out that we have not.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
