Good as is discourse, silence is better, and shames it. The length of the discourse indicates the distance of thought betwixt the speaker and the hearer. If they were at a perfect understanding in any part, no words would be necessary thereon. If at one in all parts, no words would be suffered.
Ralph Waldo EmersonA man of thought must feel the thought that is parent of the universe: that the masses of nature do undulate and flow.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe field cannot be well seen from within the field. The astronomer must have his diameter of the earth's orbit as a base to fix the parallax of any other star
