“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...”
― Henry David Thoreau

“I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should, and so it all goes on in helpless darkness.”

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

“All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.”
