Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Time is but the stream I go a fishing in.

Time is but the stream I go a fishing in.

Summary

This quote suggests that time is not a limited resource, but rather a boundless stream in which one can immerse themselves, much like someone fishing in a river. It highlights the idea that time is not something to be wasted or worried about, but rather an opportunity for exploration and growth. By viewing time as a vast stream, the quote encourages embracing the present moment and making the most of it, rather than being fixated on the constraints or anxieties associated with the passing of time.

Before this learning experience, I had assumed that with regard to programs that sought to help people out of poverty, the political world was essentially divided into two camps: conservatives who opposed these for a variety of reasons, and liberals who supported them.

I believe that the Bible is the literal word of God. And I say no, it's not, Dad. Well, I believe that it is. Well, you know, some people believe they're Napoleon. That's fine. Beliefs are neat. Cherish them, but don't share them like they're the truth.

To all the talented young men who wander about feeling that

To all the talented young men who wander about feeling that there is nothing in the world for them to do, I should say: 'Give up trying to write, and, instead, try not to write. Go out into the world; become a pirate, a king in Borneo, a labourer in Soviet Russia; give yourself an existence in which the satisfaction of elementary physical needs will occupy almost all your energies.' I do not recommend this course of action to everyone, but only to those who suffer from the disease which Mr Krutch diagnoses. I believe that, after some years of such an existence, the ex-intellectual will fin that in spite of is efforts he can no longer refrain from writing, and when this time comes his writing will not seem to him futile.

The thing that I've always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf. And the idea of music, for me, is always about both the communication and the sharing of content. And so the interactive part is missing.
