I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.
释义:日月想要明亮,浮云遮蔽了它们;河水想要清澈,沙石使它变污浊;人的性情想要平和,嗜好和欲望会损害了它。
痛苦是一扇门,通向比它本身更伟大的东西。
I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
