Henry David Thoreau Quotes

I Sometimes Despair Of Getting Anything Quite Simple And Honest Done In This World By The Help Of Men. They Would Have To Be Passed Through A Powerful Press First, To Squeeze Their Old Notions Out Of Them, So That They Would Not Soon Get Upon Their Legs Again; And Then There Would Be Some One In The Company With A Maggot In His Head, Hatched From An Egg Deposited There Nobody Knows When, For Not Even Fire Kills These Things, And You Would Have Lost Your Labor.
