CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE COMPANY

Henry David Thoreau

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.  Not till we have lost the world do we begin to find ourselves.  Life is as short as ever, death as inevitable and the heavens as far off.  It is safest to invest in knowledge; you can carry it wherever you go.  We cannot know what we are not.  You must be aware that nothing is what you have taken it to be.”
