Famous quotes containing the words david t and/or david:

    I have been to see Henry James, and like him very much. It was a great pleasure to meet him. It makes humanity seem more erect and respectable. I never was more kindly and faithfully catechised. It made me respect myself more to be thought worthy of such wise questions.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
