Alongside Civil Disobedience, Walden is Thoreau's most well-known piece of work.
Walden is a book of Thoreau's reflections during two years of living in a simple hut he built adjacent to Walden Pond, on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Thoreau through his book observes the natural world around him, the change of the seasons, and explores themes of simplicity and self-reliance.
“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” ― Henry Thoreau
"...if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” ― Henry Thoreau
