David Thoreau loved the solitude. A lot of people complained or wonder why he enjoyed being alone. Thoreau never cared what people thought about his actions. He thought being alone was a good thing.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. It’s not what you LOOK at that matters‚ it’s what you SEE. If a man does not keep pace with his companions‚ perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears‚ however measured or far away. As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth‚ so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path‚ we walk again and again. To make a deep mental
