Thoreau's Journal

Thoreau's journal, p. 35, March 21

“Thanks Fortune, we are not rooted to the soil, and here is not all the world.”

In this quote Thoreau is explaining that people aren’t meant to stay in one place their whole life like a plant. People aren’t supposed to pick one spot in the world and stay there eternally. In Thoreau’s opinion, we are meant to g out and explore the world. We should experience life in all different settings. Thoreau explains that people can live many lives in a lifetime.
