The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know. Planetary scale is your little secret.

    Distance   Two   Feet

  • I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute Freedom and Wildness, as contrasted with a Freedom and Culture merely civil, - to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society.

    Nature   Men   Wish  
    Henry David Thoreau (2016). “Essays of Henry David Thoreau - Walking”, p.2, Editora Dracaena
  • I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit. In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to Society. But it sometimes happens that I cannot easily shake off the village. The thought of some work will run in my head and I am not where my body is - I am out of my senses. In my walks I would fain return to my senses. What business have I in the woods, if I am thinking of something out of the woods?

    Henry David Thoreau (2012). “The Portable Thoreau”, p.395, Penguin
  • When we walk, we naturally go to the fields and woods: what would become of us, if we walked only in a garden or a mall?

    Henry David Thoreau (2016). “Essays of Henry David Thoreau - Walking”, p.8, Editora Dracaena
  • The true charm of pedestrianism does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery, but in the talking. The walking is good to time the movement of the tongue by, and to keep the blood and the brain stirred up and active; the scenery and the woodsy smells are good to bear in upon a man an unconscious and unobtrusive charm and solace to eye and soul and sense; but the supreme pleasure comes from the talk.

    Lying   Eye   Men  
    Mark Twain (2016). “A Tramp Abroad”, p.139, Xist Publishing
  • The true charm of pedestrians does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery, but in the talking.

    Lying   Talking   Hiking  
  • If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

    Nature   Science   Men  
    "Life Without Principle" (1863)
  • If you lose touch with nature you lose touch with humanity. If there's no relationship with nature then you become a killer; then you kill baby seals, whales, dolphins, and man either for gain, for "sport," for food, or for knowledge. Then nature is frightened of you, withdrawing its beauty. You may take long walks in the woods or camp in lovely places but you are a killer and so lose their friendship. You probably are not related to anything to your wife or your husband.

    Love   Life   Sports  
  • I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least - and it is commonly more than that - sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.

    Henry David Thoreau (2017). “HENRY DAVID THOREAU – The Man, The Philosopher & The Trailblazer (Illustrated): Biographies, Memoirs, Autobiographical Books & Personal Letters (Including Walden, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, The Maine Woods, Cape Cod, A Yankee in Canada…)”, p.1127, e-artnow
  • In my walks, I would fain return to my senses. What business have I in the woods if I am thinking of something out of the woods?

    Henry David Thoreau (2015). “Walking: Top Essays”, p.2, 谷月社
  • I walk out into a nature such as the old prophets and poets Menu, Moses, Homer, Chaucer, walked in. You may name it America, but it is not America. Neither Americus Vespucius, nor Columbus, nor the rest were the discoverers of it. There is a truer account of it in Mythology than in any history of America so called that I have seen.
