Body Quotes by Henry David Thoreau

58 Body quotes by Henry David Thoreau

Thoreau compares the church to a hospital that treats souls with the same quackery as a body clinic. He loves walking among fallen leaves, feeling the earth like a quiet cemetery where thoughts can wander. He also says people often become machines for the state, while a poet’s body feeds on a divine nectar.
