How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the read... - Henry David Thoreau, Walden
"How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book."
More quotes by Henry David Thoreau, Walden
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
"A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. It may be translated into every language, and not only be read but actually breathed from all human lips; -- not be represented on canvas or in marble only, but be carved out of the breath of life itself."
"As if you could kill time without injuring eternity."
"The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run."
"I silently smiled at my incessant good fortune."
