The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI have no hostility to nature, but a child's love to it. I expand and live in the warm day like corn and melons.
Ralph Waldo EmersonHow many attractions for us have our passing fellows in the streets, both male and female, which our ethics forbid us to express, which yet infuse so much pleasure into life. A lovely child, a handsome youth, a beautiful girl, a heroic man, a maternal woman, a venerable old man, charm us, though strangers, and we cannot say so, or look at them but for a moment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
