A Quoted Passage

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach.

Sample body text. A post will often open with a quotation, work through it in a few paragraphs, and close with a second one that answers the first.

Blockquotes get a left rule and a slightly muted colour, so a quotation reads as borrowed rather than written. Nothing in this file styles them – a > at the start of the line is all it takes.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
