Henry David Thoreau

Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.

Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

Why do we cling to bigotry? Because bigotry, plainly, is convenient. It is a near-effortless way to both elevate one's stature and make a pity grab in this culture of victims that we have become.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.
