Henry David Thoreau News Quotations

News Coverage!! As news expose rather than cover events.

A man who has to go to the village to get the news hasn't heard from himself in a long time.

Do not read the newspapers.

Blessed are they who never read a newspaper, for they shall see Nature, and through her, God.

What are the libraries of science but files of newspapers?

I am sure that I never read any memorable news in a newspaper.

The news we hear, for the most part, is not news to our genius. It is the stalest repetition.

I find it so difficult to dispose of the few facts which to me are significant, that I hesitate to burden my attention with thosewhich are insignificant, which only a divine mind could illustrate. Such is, for the most part, the news in newspapers and conversation.

If you chance to live and move and have your being in that thin stratum in which the events that make the news transpire,--thinnerthan the paper on which it is printed,--then these things will fill the world for you; but if you soar above or dive below that plane, you cannot remember nor be reminded of them.
