If if we are merely loquacious and loud talkers, then we can afford to stand very near together, check by jail, and feel each other’s breath: but if we speak reservedly and thoughtfully, we want to be farther apart, that all animal heat and moisture may have a chance to evaporate. – Henry David Thoreau

Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny. ― Lao Tzu

American Bloomsbury
By Susan Cheever
A short history of the intellectual capital of the USA, Concord Massachusetts when Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Louisa Alcott, and others made it their home.
Cheever have a light and breeze style, makes for easy reading. Enjoyed this book, although I don’t think anybody would take this book to be the definitively bio of the time. But it was a fun high-level overview.

I travelogue on his three trips to Cape Cod. Not essential reading, but interesting.
