Quotes from Thoreau’s Walden or Life in the Woods Transcendentalism AP English Language and Composition English 11-2

Thoreau: Walden “The millions are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred millions to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive” (110-111).

Thoreau: Walden “We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep” (111).

Thoreau: Walden “I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor” (111).

Thoreau: Walden “It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do” (111).

Thoreau: Walden “To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts” (111). “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” (111).

Thoreau: Walden “ 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” (111-112).

Thoreau: Walden “Our life is frittered away by detail” (112). “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity”(112). “Why should we live in such a hurry and waste of life? We are determined to be starved before we are hungry. Men say that a stitch in time saves nine, and so they take a thousand stitches to-day to save nine tomorrow” (114).
