“I one evening overtook one of my townsmen, who has accumulated what is called 'a handsome property'..on the Walden road, driving a pair of cattle to market, who inquired of me how I could bring my mind to give up so many of the comforts of life. I answered that I was very sure I liked it passably well; I was not joking. And so I went home to my bed, and left him to pick his way through the darkness and the mud to Brighton, which place he would reach some time in the morning.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

Without light, no color, and without color, there is only black – and yet black is not a color.”
― Eugene Thacker, Starry Speculative Corpse

“Today you may write a chapter on the advantages of travelling & tomorrow you may write another chapter on the advantages of not travelling.”
