—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.”

“The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them.

He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
