Thoreau: We Still Have Choices
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation….When we
consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the true end of man, and
what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had
deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any
other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that
the sun rose clear. It is never too late
to give up our prejudices.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden. (New York: Modern Library, 2000) p. 8. (Boldface is my addition)
