Cities give not the human senses room enough. We go out daily and nightly to feed the eyes on the horizon, and require so much scope, just as we need water for our bath.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEverything has its price - and if that price is not paid, not that thing but something else is obtained... it is impossible to get anything without this price.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWe have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. (Despite) all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether... The effect of the indulgence of this human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
