"We can only obey our own polarity...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I have only one doctrine, the infinitude of the private man.”

“Though love repine, and reason chafe, There came a voice without reply,- "'Tis man's perdition to be safe, When for the truth he ought to die."”

“There is creative reading as well as creative writing.”

“I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.”

“What sense or thought do they have? They follow the popular singers, and they take the crowd as their teacher.”

“That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; a backbone was all he needed.”

“The most natively interesting object to a man is his own personal self and its fortunes. We accordingly see that the moment a thing becomes connected with the fortunes of the self, it forthwith becomes an interesting thing.”

“Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you.”

“Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.”
