Mile Durkheim

Famous quotes containing the words mile and/or durkheim:

“It was a tangled and perplexing thicket, through which we stumbled and threaded our way, and when we had finished a mile of it, our starting-point seemed far away. We were glad that we had not got to walk to Bangor along the banks of this river, which would be a journey of more than a hundred miles. Think of the denseness of the forest, the fallen trees and rocks, the windings of the river, the streams emptying in, and the frequent swamps to be crossed. It made you shudder.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It is too great comfort which turns a man against himself. Life is most readily renounced at the time and among the classes where it is least harsh.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
