“The ordinary manwe have to face it: it is every bit as true of the ordinary Englishman as of the ordinary Americanis an Anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbor to be governed, but he himself doesnt want to be governed.”

“In some withdrawn, unpublic mead
Let me sigh upon a reed,
Or in the woods, with leafy din,
Whisper the still evening in:
Some still work give me to do,
Onlybe it near to you!
For Id rather be thy child
And pupil, in the forest wild,
Than be the king of men elsewhere,
And most sovereign slave of care:
To have one moment of thy dawn,
Than share the citys year forlorn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
