"Nothing can be more delicate without being..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The poet's habit of living should be set on a key so low that the common influences should delight him.”

“The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.”

“The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time.”

“Comfort and familiarity were wonderful but they also dulled passion and excitement. Predictability and habit made surprises almost impossible.”

“You are in a partnership with all other human beings, not a contest to be judged better than some and worse than others.”

“For nobody else, gave me thrill-with all your faults, I love you still. It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you.”

“Love sees with the heart and not with mind.”

“My affections were first for my own country, then, generally, for all mankind”

“Love is the burning point of life, and since all life is sorrowful, so is love. The stronger the love, the more the pain. Love itself is pain, you might say -the pain of being truly alive.”
