I have been inspired by Henry David Thoreau, and have gathered many of his writings that further my understanding of his life, times, and his significant insights. Nearby Walden Pond is a fine memorial to his life.

Quotations by Author -- Henry David Thoreau
Hardly a man takes a half hour's nap after dinner,
but when he wakes he holds up his head and asks,
"What's the news?"
as if the rest of mankind had stood his sentinels. -- Walden
