Henry David Thoreau
“ If you would learn to speak all tongues and conform to the customs of all nations, if you would travel farther than all travellers, be naturalized in all climes, and cause the Sphinx to dash her head against a stone, even obey the precept of the old philosopher, and Explore thyself. ”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden; or, Life in the Woods

― Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Crow Planet: Essential Wisdom from the Urban Wilderness
