Henry David Thoreau quote: "However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it..."
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. Henry David Thoreau
Is it because we're having so much fun at home we've forgotten the world? Is it because we're so rich and the rest of the world's so poor and we just don't care if they are? I've heard rumors; the world is starving, but we're well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we're hated so much?

He seemed to be trying to extract from it an opinion about this unprecedented business; but the clay pipe only wheezed and said nothing. Nikolai Gogol
