Famous quotes containing the words common, practice and/or examples:
“I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one,—that my body might,—but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them.

Who are we? where are we?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
