Ralph Waldo Emerson
An original sentence, a step forward, is worth more than all the censures.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sea is masculine, the type of active strength. Look, what egg-shells are drifting all over it, each one, like ours, filled with men in ecstasies of terror, alternating with cockney conceit, as the sea is rough or smooth. Is this sad-colored circle an eternal cemetery?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
