More From Henry David Thoreau
- "I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now."
- "While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, but it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings."
- "I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business."
