‘Inhabitant of the Mind’

“I perceive that I am neither a planter of the backwoods, pioneer, nor settler there, but an inhabitant of the Mind, and given to friendship and ideas. The ancient society, the Old England of New England, Massachusetts for me.”

— Amos Bronson Alcott (1799 -1888) American teacher, writer, philosopher and reformer and long-time resident of the intellectual community of Concord, Mass.,
