WRITING & LITERATURE
LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCE / HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE
“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” — Henry David Thoreau
