Famous quotes by henry david thoreau:

“Paper is cheap, and authors need not now erase one book before they write another. Instead of cultivating the earth for wheat and potatoes, they cultivate literature, and fill a place in the Republic of Letters. Or they would fain write for fame merely, as others actually raise crops of grain to be distilled into brandy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“As for the herd of newspapers and magazines, I do not chance to know an editor in the country who will deliberately print anything which he knows will ultimately and permanently reduce the number of his subscribers. They do not believe that it would be expedient. How then can they print truth?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“My actual life is a fact, in view of which I have no occasion to congratulate myself; but for my faith and aspiration I have respect. It is from these that I speak.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I am never rich in money, and I am never meanly poor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“They are so greedy and impetuous that they are frequently caught by being entangled in the line the moment it is cast.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
