Henry David Thoreau Places Quotations

The world is a strange place for a playhouse to stand within it.

I lingered most about the fireplace, as the most vital part of the house.

In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
