Where I Lived, and What I lived for

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake . . . by an infinite
expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest
sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability
of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor.

- Henry David Thoreau, "Walden, from “Where I Lived, and What I
Lived For”"
