"Really, all things and persons are related..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Really, all things and persons are related to us, but according to our nature, they act on us not at once, but in succession, andwe are made aware of their presence one at a time. All persons, all things which we have known, are here present, and many more than we see; the world is full.

More on Connection
“Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?”
“Why love the woman who is your wife? Her nose breathes in the air of a world that I know; therefore I love that nose. Her ears hear music I might sing half the night through; therefore I love her ears. Her eyes delight in seasons of the land; and so I love those eyes. Her tongue knows quince, peach, chokeberry, mint and lime; I love to hear it speaking. Because her flesh knows heat, cold, affliction, I know fire, snow, and pain. Shared and once again shared experience.”
“Invisible threads are the strongest ties.”

“Your confidence in the people, and your doubt about them, are closely related to your self-confidence and your self-doubt.”
“Hitler is a shy and friendly man with artistic tastes and gifts.”
“LADY BRACKNELL Algernon is an extremely, I may almost say an ostentatiously, eligible young man. He has nothing, but he looks everything. What more can one desire?”
