Now I go a-fishing and a-hunting every day, but omit the fish and the game, which are the least important part. I have learned to do without them.

Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations. Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage. They have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the reader his common sense will not refuse them. Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 3 “Reading” (1854)More about this quote: wist.info/thoreau-henry-david/…

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Carl_Zimmer/116964309767135642
Thoreau once again providing invaluable information almost two centuries later:
Thoreau claimed he often came across catfish in Massachusetts rivers covered with spots. In 1858, he described one he saw on a visit to the Assabet River: “Nearly half the head, from the snout backward diagonally, is covered with an inky-black kind of leprosy, like a crustaceous lichen,” he wrote.
Plus Dr. Dragon is an awesome name for a scientist

“For the most part we allow only outlying and transient circumstances to make our occasions. They are, in fact, the cause of our distraction. Nearest to all things is that power which fashions their being. Next to us the grandest laws are continually being executed. Next to us is not the workman whom we have hired, with whom we love so well to talk, but the workman whose work we are.”

There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted. It is human, it is divine, carrion.

Seul et ensemble
Cela peut paraître paradoxal de souligner l’importance d’être seul et ensemble. On a l’impression de toucher à l’une des tensions fondamentales de l’expérience humaine.
La solitude est à la fois un état et un besoin. Elle permet de se retrouver soi-même, de penser sans interférence, de retrouver qui nous sommes, en dehors du regard des autres, et de se reconnecter avec notre singularité. Certains philosophes, comme Thoreau ou les stoïciens, y voyaient une condition nécessaire à la liberté intérieure. Mais la solitude peut aussi devenir une forme de souffrance, par l’isolement ressenti, par le sentiment de ne pas être vu ni compris, et elle peut creuser en nous un vide difficile à supporter.
Par ailleurs, nous sommes des êtres profondément sociaux. L’appartenance à un groupe, que ce soit la famille, les amis, la communauté, la société, donne du sens, de la sécurité et apporte des moments de joie. C’est dans le regard de l’autre qu’on se reconnaît, qu’on se construit. Sans liens, l’identité elle-même perd ses repères. J’aime penser que c’est dans l’articulation du – Je-Nous – que l’humain s’élève.
Ce qui est fascinant, c’est que le – Je et le Nous – ne s’opposent pas vraiment, ils se nourrissent mutuellement. En effet, nous avons besoin de solitude pour revenir à soi, et d’autrui pour nous révéler. Trop de solitude engendre l’isolement et trop de vie collective efface l’individu.
Les grandes traditions spirituelles (méditation, retraite) et artistiques (l’écrivain seul face à sa page) montrent que la solitude choisie peut être une forme de voie, pas de manque. C’est peut-être ce balancement permanent du – Je et du Nous – qui définit la condition humaine.
