A practice of Transcendentalism Life in the woods

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. Henry David Thoreau, Walden, "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For"Walden Famous words: 我到丛林中去，因为我想活得从容，只去面对生活中最本质的事物，看我究竟能否从中领略生活的奥妙，免得待我将死之时，才发现我只是在虚度此生。

Theme Walden emphasizes the importance of self-reliance, solitude, contemplation, and closeness to nature in transcending the crass ( 愚钝的） existence that is supposedly the lot of most humans. This book criticizes western culture's consumerist and materialist attitudes and its distance from nature and destruction of nature.
