Henry David Thoreau kniha Life Without Principle
Life Without Principle (1863)
Kontext: I wish to suggest that a man may be very industrious, and yet not spend his time well. There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living. All great enterprises are self-supporting. The poet, for instance, must sustain his body by his poetry, as a steam planing-mill feeds its boilers with the shavings it makes. You must get your living by loving.
“A gun gives you the body, not the bird.”
