Quotes:
"I went to the woods because I wished to live
deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see
if
I could not learn what it had
to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not
lived."
--Henry David Thoreau
"I left the
woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me
that I had several more
lives to live, and could not
spare any more time for that one."
--Henry David Thoreau
"The man
who does not read books has no advantage over the man that can not read
them."
--Mark Twain
"It takes
three men to watch a good-sized hole."
--Hugh
Kenner
"A
facility for the apt quotation covers the absence of original
thought."
--Lord Peter Wimsey, from Dorothy L. Sayers' Gaudy Night
