Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."
"In fact," said Mustapha Mond, "your're claiming the right to be unhappy."

hmmm... Thoreau, aus den Tagebüchern...

„Manchmal möchte ich zu einer beschwerlichen, ernstzunehmenden Wanderung aufbrechen, ein wesentlicheres Leben führen, eine tiefe Erfahrung machen, mich bei Hitze und Kälte, Tag und Nacht im Freien aufhalten; mehr leben, mehr Luft verbrauchen, mich ermüden. Doch dann stellt sich rasch der Gedanke ein: Schweife nicht so weit ab von deinen Wegen um eines echteren Lebens willen, sondern halte dich an den Pfad, den dein Geniusdir weist. Tu die Dinge, die dir am nächsten liegen, aber schwierig sind. Lebe ein ursprünglicheres, bewussteres und mühevolleres Leben, sei wahr- haftiger zu deinen Freunden und Nachbarn, sei nachsichtiger und großzügiger. Das wäre besser als ein stürmischer Aufbruch.“

Thoreau seems to be just about anywhere!! - - -

- - - sogar wenn ich was für meine GFS mache, stoße ich auf irgendwelche Zitate von ihm... Der ist aber auch toll.... I ♥ Thoreau


Eastward I go by force; but westward I go free... I should not lay so much stress on this fact, if I did not believe that something like this is the prevailing tendency of my countrymen. I must walk toward Oregon, and not toward Europe...
Henry David Thoreau

Walden III - Reading

Thoreau: Walden
Chapter 3: Reading


My residence was more favorable, not only to thought but to serious reading, than a university; and though I was beyond the range of the ordinary circulation library, I had more than ever come within the influence of those books which circulate round the world, whose sentences were first written on bark, and are now merely copied from time to time on to linen paper. [...] I read one ore two shallow books of travel in the intervals of my work, till that employment made me ashamed of myself, and I asked where it was then that I lived. [...] Men sometimes speak as if the study of the classics would at lenght make way for more modern and practical studies; but the adventurous student will always study classics, in whatever language they may be writtten and however ancient they may be. [...] We may as well omit to study Nature because she is old. To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that task the reader more than any exercise which the custom of the day esteem.

Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations. Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage. They have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the reader his common sense will not refuse them. Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind.

One who has just come from reading perhaps one of the best English books will find how many with whom he an converse about it? [...] he will find nobody to speak to, but must keep silence about it.

We need to be provoked -- goated like oxen, as we are, into a trot. [...] We spend more on almost any article of bodily aliment or ailment than on our mentail aliment. It is time that we had uncommon schools, that we did not leave off our education when we begin to be men and women. It is time that villages were universities [...] we are kept from school too long, and our education is sadly neglected.



Mann, das Buch wird echt von Kapitel zu Kapitel interessanter. Das erste war ja mal wirklich schrecklich zu lesen, das zweite war richtig cool, weil ich da schon Zitate draus kannte (--> dead poets society) und im dritten steckt einfach so viel über Bücher und Lesen drin... amazing! Ich finds einfach irre bei wie vielen dingen man sagen kann, dass das heute auch noch zutrifft - oder besser: dass es gerade heute zutrifft.
dabei ist das teil 150 jahre alt *lach*

Walden II

Thoreau - Walden

Chapter Two: Where I Lived, and What I Lived For


Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself. [...] To be awake is to be alive.

[...]

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. For most men, it appears to me, are in a strange uncertainty about it, whether it is of the devil or of God, and have somewhat hastily concluded that it is the chief end of man here to "glorify God and enjoy him forever."

[...]

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. [

[....]

We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us.

[...]

Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and fast, or break fast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry — determined to make a day of it. Why should we knock under and go with the stream? [...] If the engine whistles, let it whistle till it is hoarse for its pains. If the bell rings, why should we run? We will consider what kind of music they are like. Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud and slush of opinion, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance, that alluvion which covers the globe, through Paris and London, through New York and Boston and Concord, through Church and State, through poetry and philosophy and religion, till we come to a hard bottom and rocks in place, which we can call reality, and say, This is, and no mistake [....] Be it life or death, we crave only reality.




@Jukka: Zumindest die zweite Passage solltest du kennen... --> Dead Poets Society ;-)

Walden

Walden

or, Life in the Woods
by
Henry David Thoreau

Chapter One - Economy
At the present day [~1845], and in this country [US], as I find by my own experience, a few implements, a knife, an axe, a spade, a wheelbarrow, etc. and for the studious, lamplight, stationery, and acces to a few books, rank next to necessaries, and can all be obtained at a trifling cost. Yet some, not wise, go to the other side of the globe, to barbarous and unhealthy regions, and devote themselves to trade for ten or twenty years, in order that they may live -- that is, keep comfortably warm --- and die in New England at last. The luxuriously rich are not simply kept comfortably warm, but unnaturally hot; as I implied before, they are cooked, of course a la mode.
[...]
With respect to luxuries and comforts, the wisest have ever lived a more simple and meager life than the poor.
[...]
To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live acccording to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of live, no only theoretically, but practically.
p. 10

While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, bt it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings.
p. 19
