“If I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must first see, at least, that I do not do pursue them sitting upon another mans shoulders. I must get off him first, that he may pursue his contemplations too.”

“I walk out into a nature such as the old prophets and poets, Menu, Moses, Homer, Chaucer, walked in. You may name it America, but it is not America; neither Americus Vespucius, nor Columbus, nor the rest were the discoverers of it. There is a truer account of it in mythology than in any history of America, so called, that I have seen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
