In Walden, Henry David Thoreau states that your own thoughts are more important to own than clothing.

Quote: "Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do not want society."

The book walden by David Thoreau may be seen as performance art, a demonstration of how easy it can be to acquire the four necessities of life. Once acquired, he considered that people should devote their efforts to get personal growth.
