Beauty brings its own fancy price, for all that a man hath will he give for his love.
Ralph Waldo EmersonA man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe astonishment of life is the absence of any appearances of reconciliation between the theory and the practice of life.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhy should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, of the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
