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 亨利·大卫·梭罗

我到树林里去,是因为我希望活得有意义,只面对生活中最基本的事实,看看自己是否能学到生活的真谛,而不是在我死后才发现自己从未活过。
