Where’s Walden?

Tags: , , , ,

I just finished a GREAT book.

Walden, by Henry David Thoreau.

The conclusion of the book is quite amazing and has a passage that is oft quoted (see 1, 2, 3), I’ve included it here:

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,

and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,

he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

- Henry David Thoreau

I was deeply moved by Walden. (I read it during my “super-light travel experiment“)
