Forks of the Credit Ontario
"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, and not, when I come to die, discover that I had not lived.  I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; not did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary.  I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to tout 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..."

~ Walden, Henry D. Thoreau (1817 - 1862) American author, poet, philosopher.
