"For the world was built in order..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Is not, indeed, every man a student, and do not all things exist for the student's behoof?”

“I now require this of all pictures, that they domesticate me, not that they dazzle me. Pictures must not be too picturesque. Nothing astonishes men so much as common-sense and plain dealing. All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are.”

“New York is a sucked orange. All conversation is at an end, when we have discharged ourselves of a dozen personalities, domestic or imported, which make up our American existence.”

“When the individuality of the artist begins to express itself, what the artist gains in the way of liberty he loses in the way of order.”

“In a disordered mind, as in a disordered body, soundness of health is impossible.”

“All names will soon be restored to their proper owners.”

“The source is within you. And this whole world is springing up from it.”

“The nature of the All moved to make the universe.”

“The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it - aliens... within I don't know how many years, but in not too long a time, it's going to become basic common sense that you are not some alien being who confronts an external world that is not you, but that almost every intelligent person will have the feeling of being an activity of the entire universe.”
