Side one: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
Side two: Live the life you've imagined. Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau was born in 1817 in Concord, MA and graduated from Harvard college in 1837.
He is considered to be one of the foremost American thinkers of his day and one of the leading figures of the transcendental movement with Ralph Waldo Emerson.
In 1845 he began builting his hut on Walden Pond, on Emerson's land. There he wrote his most famous work, 'Walden', which was published in August 1854.
'Walden' is an account of his solitary existence there, living in close harmoy with nature and what we now call 'the environment.' As such we now regard him as a pioneer of environmentalism. He was a champion of the individual and a bulwark against the Victorian obsession with social conformity - as is reflected in this quotation.
