"No method nor discipline can supersede the necessity……" — Henry David Thoreau

"No method nor discipline can supersede the necessity of being forever on the alert. What is a course of history, or philosophy, or poetry, or the most admirable routine of life, compared with the discipline of looking always at what is to be seen? Will you be a reader, a student merely, or a seer?"

Henry David Thoreau
