Henry David Thoreau
born Concord, Massachusetts
July 12, 1817
“To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble
exercise, and one that will tax the reader more than any exercise which
the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the
athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to
this object. Books must be read as deliberately and reservedly as they
were written.”
Henry David Thoreau
