Henry Thoreau

“ Not when are we lost do we begin to undertand ourselves.”
 What Thoreau means is that when we are by ourselves we start to think about our choices and start to think about our life.

“Go confidently in your direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”
Thoreau is telling us to follow our dreams and have confidence in yourself.

“Thank God men cannot fly and lay waste the sky as the earth.”
Men have polluted and messed up the land and Henry is saying thank god they cant fly because they would mess up the sky even more.
