It is rare to find a man who believes in his own thoughts or speaks that which he is created to say. As nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing, so nothing is more rare in any man than an act of his own...feel yourself, and be not daunted by things...The light by which we see this world comes out from the soul of the observer.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTraveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe land is the appointed remedy for whatever is false and fantastic in our culture...food for our mind, as well as our body.
