Creative Quotations

from Henry David

Thoreau(1817-1862) born on Jul

12 US essayist, poet, naturalist;

He is best known for his description of life at Walden Pond, in Walden, 1854

and his essay Civil Disobedience, 1849.

It takes two to speak truth – one to speak,

and another to hear.

I never found the companion that

was so companionable as solitude.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

Not that the story need be long, but it

will take a long while to make it short.

Do what you love. Know your own bone;

gnaw at it, bury it,

unearth it, and gnaw it still.
