Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Things do not change we change.

Things do not change we change.

Summary

This quote implies that change is a result of our own personal growth and transformation. It suggests that the world around us may remain the same, but our attitudes, perspectives, and actions are what determine how we experience and perceive that world. Change is not a force outside of us; it is something that occurs within us. It highlights the importance of self-awareness, self-reflection, and personal development in creating meaningful and positive change in our lives.

Is no one inspired by our present picture of the universe? Our poets do not write about it; our artists do not try to portray this remarkable thing. The value of science remains unsung by singers: you are reduced to hearing not a song or poem, but an evening lecture about it. This is not yet a scientific age.

Night poured over the desert. It came suddenly, in purple. In the clear air, the stars drilled down out of the sky, reminding any thoughtful watcher that it is in the deserts and high places that religions are generated.
