Henry David Thoreau
  • If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

  • When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

  • Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.

  • The bluebird carries the sky on his back.

  • If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.
