Home in the Wilderness
- 1. ¡°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¡I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.¡± -Henry David Thoreau, Walden.
- 31. ¡°I come home with an honestly earned feeling that something good has taken place. It makes no difference whether I got anything; it has to do with how the day is spent.¡± -Fred Bear
