It matters not where or how far you travel—the farther commonly the worse—but how much alive you are (Henry David Thoreau)

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately (Henry David Thoreau)

I love the winter, with its imprisonment and its cold, for it compels the prisoner to try new fields and resources (H D Thoreau, journal, Dec. 5, 1856)

You must live in the present (Henry David Thoreau)

Photo by Kari Shea on Unsplash You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each month. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this. Henry David Thoreau

Walk this way (Run DMC)

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 (Walden)

What is life? (George Harrison)

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. Henry David Thoreau (Walden)
