Quotations Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American author, poet, and naturalist

“One farmer says to me, ‘You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make the bones with,’ and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying himself with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”
