Henry David Thoreau Quotes
Our Inventions Are Wont To Be Pretty Toys, Which Distract Our Attention From Serious Things. They Are But Improved Means To An Unimproved End, An End Which It Was Already But Too Easy To Arrive At; As Railroads Lead To Boston Or New York. We Are In Great Haste To Construct A Magnetic Telegraph From Maine To Texas; But Maine And Texas, It May Be, Have Nothing Important To Communicate.
