Additional quotes by Henry David Thoreau

One who has just come from reading perhaps one of the best English books will find how many with whom he can converse about it?

I do not know how to distinguish between waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are?

I thrive best on solitude. If I have had a companion only one day in a week, unless it were one or two I could name, I find that the value of the week to me has been seriously affected. It dissipates my days, and often it takes me another week to get over it.
