The Thoreau Society has described Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) as a “seminal American author, poet, philosopher, ecologist, pencil-maker, surveyor, conservationist, cartographer, ethnologist, botanist, ornithologist, moralist, limnologist, geologist, reformer, flute player, ice skater, (and) visionary.” Not to mention an eminently quotable fellow.
"I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion."
