pippi Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) 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.-Thoreau Edited March 13, 2011 by pippi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljane Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 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.-ThoreauThis is a great quote. My grandfather was a woodsman who went to the woods with the same intentions, besides wanting to escape his numerous family and having to work in the cotton mill. He soon found that putting to rout all that was not life deprived him of a major source of food. He reached the conclusion that life sucks, but when he came to die, discovered that he had indeed lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
