The link to a lot of great Thoreau information for some reason did not make it into that post, so here it is again....possibly TWICE!
Meet Thoreau whose quotes include: "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 (1817-62)
