Henry David Thoreau

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

Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

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.
