I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meal... - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me."
"I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me."
"His heart was as great as the world, but there was no room in it to hold the memory of a wrong"
"Of all the ways to lose a person, death is the kindest."
"The secret of poetry is never explained - is always new. We have not got farther than mere wonder at the delicacy of the touch, & the eternity it inherits. In every house a child that in mere play utters oracles, & knows not that they are such. 'Tis as easy as breath. 'Tis like this gravity, which holds the Universe together, & none knows what it is."
"The crowning fortune of a man is to be born to some pursuit which finds him employment and happiness, whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statues, or songs."
"What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."
