Thoreau

In his 1854 book titled Walden, Henry David Thoreau claimed "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." I 87% agree.

Had I an opportunity to amend, it would read: The mass of respectably intelligent men lead lives of quiet desperation. There are many whose desperation is actually quite deafening: these individuals have left much to learn.
