Quote by Henry David Thoreau
I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.
Summary
This quote suggests that no other aspect of life, including crime, is more detrimental to poetry, philosophy, and even life itself, than the constant preoccupation with business and work. It implies that the relentless pursuit of material wealth and productivity can hinder the introspection, creativity, and wisdom inherent in poetry and philosophy and may ultimately detract from the richness and true value of one's existence.
