"Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake." - Henry D. Thoreau
Thoreau is famous for his writing about nature and philosophy of life. He wrote philosophical essays in which he criticized social institutions and celebrated nature and individualism. Thoreau was a man who expressed his beliefs of society, government, and mankind while living under his own self-criticism. He is best known for his time spent at Walden Pond and his work Walden; or, Life in the Woods, which chronicles his experiment in simple, self-sufficient living.
"Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify, simplify! ... Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose." - Henry D. Thoreau
