ABOUT ME
"I went to the woods because
I wished to live
deliberately...<b>
...to front only the essential
facts of life, and see if I could
not learn what it had to teach,
and not, when I came to die,
discover that I had not lived.
I did not wish to live what was
not life, living is so dear; nor
did I wish to practice
resignation, unless it was quite
necessary... <b> 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..." - Walden
(1854)
