"You are paid for being something less of a man."
feed-your-head: Was reading Thoreau in the subway ride back home from work, when an old man sitting next to me touched my shoulder. I was stoned, but I still remember what he said. ” I read Life Without Principle when I was in college and it changed my life.  I know he’s very idealistic, but it has so much truth, you can’t deny it.  It told me that I should sustain myself with my own living...

caliginosus: The Blog of Henry David Thoreau: the shore of my Ithaca…Thoreau’s Journal: 07-Jul-1845 I am glad to remember to-night, as I sit by my door, that I too am at least a remote descendant of that heroic race of men of whom there is tradition. I too sit here on the shore of my Ithaca, a fellow-wanderer and survivor of Ulysses. How symbolical, significant of I know not what,...

Challenging but beautiful, this book will make you rethink many things you thought you held...
