Talk:Henry David Thoreau

"In a free society where the law is unfair, everyone has an obligation to violate the law." - Does anyone know the source of this sentence? This is usually caused by Thoreau.

There are lots of content on this page - Should we create separate pages for "civil disobedience" and "Walden"? Personally, I will delete some long quotes, but some of them will benefit from some background around them.

I do not have a user account here, but if nobody wins me (and no one has an object) I will return within a few weeks and do the actual edits.

We recommend that you create separate pages for Civil Disobedience and Walden, but leave the quotation as it is. ~ UDDScott May 11, 2006 12: 38 (UTC)

References should be the same as I have copied them from there almost. We think we should leave some of Walden's best quotes, but most of them should be left on Walden's page. - June 3, 2006, 14: 00 (UTC)

The following quotations are generally attributed to Thoreau (thousands of clicks online) to the best of my knowledge, but they are not attributed to any specific work or information sources. And on this page I can not see anything near it. Does anyone know whether it is Thoreau? Otherwise, where can it come from? But the most surprising thing about me was that it was not solved at all on this page. In my opinion, this page is incomplete unless it can even solve such common attribution: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you imagine. It will be easier. "

How was the interaction between Thoreau and Emerson done when Thoreau was imprisoned as refusing tax payment?

Emma Goldman cited it in a speech to the jury in 1917, so if it was not true it was cycling for a long time. ABehrens (Talk) May 20, 2013 16: 29 (UTC)

EDIT: Emerson seems unlikely to visit Thoreau in prison. He was arrested near the sunset and soon the prison closed. Somewhere I saw anecdotes that the above exchange came from Thoreau relatives.

Not directly, the earliest usage seems to appear in the book "Organizers" [2] published in 1956. Early purchase was not found with the quick search. - DeJJ (lecture) May 11, 2015 20: 14 (UTC)

"If you know exactly what a man has come to my house with a conscious design, I will fill the mouth full of ears like a dry broken wind from the desert in Africa And the eyes are dusty until you suffocate, I am afraid that I should do something good for him - some of the virus is mixed with my blood I will. "

All pictures on this page violate "Related Image Policy", points 1 to 3 almost. The pictures and attached references are close to the illustrations of the calendar that is older than the explanation page or quoted theme. We plan to delete all of them. - Macrakis (talk) March 4, 2014 00:06 (UTC)

I have found that many websites say Thoreau wrote this article. The source is Walden or his journal. I searched Walden's online text but it was not found. I can not find the online text of his magazine. Can anyone check the source of this offer? DB Romgren (talk) March 11, 2014 00:11 (UTC)

For reference, we can not find the print source of this estimate. Clearly, during that year there were several Thoreau journals.

Catherine Schulz recently believed that Henry David Thoreau and his most famous book, Walden, were not suitable for their classic as American philosophy and writing. In her "New Yorker" ("Pool Dross: Henry David Thoreau's Moral Myopia"), she also presents some old, sometimes misleading, opinions - Thoreau is a meditative and contradictory . , Hypocritical, perhaps the worst situation is in the eyes of Schultz, he does not like people and society. She is drilling holes in the contemporary 'myth' of Thoreau and Walden. This is incompatible with historical reality. Her article is an interesting reading, but it is obviously unilateral

The author of Henry David Thoreau Walden, Henry Henry Thoreau, wrote the first article about this author living in Walden Pond for 1, 800 years.

Meaning, importance of detail, relationship of mind and thought.
