"Sometimes, in a summer morning, having taken my accustomed bath, I sat
in my sunny doorway from sunrise till noon, rapt in a revery, amidst the
pines and hickories and sumachs, in undisturbed solitude and stillness,
while the birds sang around or flitted noiseless through the house,
until by the sun falling in at my west window, or the noise of some
traveller’s wagon on the distant highway, I was reminded of the lapse of
time."
~Henry David Thoreau
“Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as
two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million
count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail.”
“I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.”
~Thoreau
