Simplistic Living

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life..."

-Walden by Thoreau

Nonconformity

Self-Reliance

"If a man does not keep pace with his

companions,

perhaps it is because he

hears a different drummer.

Let him step

to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

-Walden by Thoreau

"Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness."

-Self-Reliance by Emerson

Importance of Nature

"I can ask others for their opinions, but ultimately it's I who'll decide. I'll be the ruler of my dominion, determining which road I'll take with pride."

-Self-Reliance by Kathleen Delicato

"Where yesterday was cold gray ice there lay the transparent pond already calm and full of hope as in a summer evening, reflecting a summer evening sky in its bosom, though none was visible overhead, as if it had intelligence with some remote horizon."

-Walden by Thoreau

Importance of Nature

Spirituality

"There's a patch of old snow in a corner that I should have guessed was blow-away paper the rain had brought to rest. It is speckled with grime as if small print overspread it, the news of a day I've forgotten -- If I ever read it."

-A Patch of Old Snow by Robert Frost

"It is the chief end

of a man here to 'glorify

God and enjoy him forever'."

-Walden by Thoreau

Spirituality

"Itself be fairer - we suppose - but how ourself, shall be adorned, for a superior grace - not yet, our eyes can see."

-575 by Emily Dickinson

Simplistic Living

"Simplify, simplify. Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one; instead of a hundred dishes, five; and reduce other things in proportion."

-Walden by Thoreau

Self-Reliance

"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string."

-Self-Reliance by Emerson
