The Passionate Choice



"Do what you love.  Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw at it still."




Henry David Thoreau
18th century American naturalist

Because doing what you don't love is difficult at best, if not impossible for long.

  2. This hits with many, in part, I think, because Thoreau's quote does seem out of sync with what many of us would assume to come from him. I'll bet that's because we really don't know the man, just his image.
