Henry David Thoreau

Chapter 2 : Where I Lived, and What I Lived For (Edited)

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 put to rout all that was not life,
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.
-

I desire to speak somewhere without bounds;

like a man in a waking moment, to men in their waking moments;

for I am convinced that I cannot exaggerate enough even to lay the foundation of a true expression.

Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever?

Who is your Goddess?

Sophia (click) or Athena (clickclick) ?

ps. Please don't insult the word Quirky.
Use a dictionary, check the meaning first before you start mishandling the word with such appalling ease.

someone asked me this last night..
"What do you fear?"
i mulled over that for awhile..
turns out, the one thing i fear is fear itself.
because fear makes you weak and weakness, i hate weakness.

death too actually.
amazing how i naively thought i had gotten everything into prospective after my first proper "blow" in my otherwise cushioned fuzzy pink life.

its been about 4 months since you've left us so abruptly.
and that, was my second awakening.
tho we've moved to a stage where talking abt you doesn't sting.
but somehow it still feels like you're on a long holiday..

life goes on.
we grow old.
is that it?
awakenings are infinite.
because there will always be so much more to life
to realise and to learn.
how i wish i can remain a (history) student for life.
and how i wish things wld remain the way they are now for.. for as long as it can.
cos this is one routine I'll gladly and blissfully slip into..
