How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
