I will not allow mere names to make distinctions for me, but still see men in herds for all them.
Henry David ThoreauThe scholar is not apt to make his most familiar experience come gracefully to the aid of his expression.
Henry David ThoreauThe frontiers are not east or west, north or south; but wherever a man fronts a fact, though that fact be a neighbor, there is anunsettled wilderness between him and Canada, between him and the setting sun, or, farther still, between him and it. Let him build himself a log house with the bark on where he is, fronting IT, and wage there an Old French war for seven or seventy years, with Indians and Rangers, or whatever else may come between him and the reality, and save his scalp if he can.
Henry David ThoreauAs to conforming outwardly and living your own life inwardly, I do not think much of that.
