Summary

This quote by Henry David Thoreau emphasizes the value of slowing down and truly experiencing the present moment. Thoreau suggests that sauntering, which refers to a leisurely and carefree stroll, is more than just a physical act. It is an art form that requires an appreciation of the world around us and a deliberate effort to be fully present. Sauntering allows us to immerse ourselves in our surroundings, observe the small details, and take pleasure in seemingly ordinary moments. It encourages us to cultivate a greater sense of mindfulness and find beauty in the simplicity of life.

As for myself: I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing sacred about myself or any human being, that we were all machines, doomed to collide and collide and collide. For want of anything better to do, we became fans of collisions. Sometimes I wrote well about collisions, which meant I was a writing machine in good repair. Sometimes I wrote badly, which meant I was a writing machine in bad repair. I no more harbored sacredness than did a Pontiac, a mousetrap, or a South Bend Lathe.
