Matching Quote
"These modern ingenious sciences and arts do not affect me as those more venerable arts of hunting and fishing, and even of husbandry in its primitive and simple form; as ancient and honorable trades as the sun and moon and winds pursue, coeval with the faculties of man, and invented when these were invented. We do not know their John Gutenberg, or Richard
Arkwright
, though the poets would fain make them to have been gradually learned and taught."
-Henry David Thoreau
