"Numbers serve to discipline rhetoric. Without them..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Eloquence shows the power and possibility of man.”

“We are always getting ready to live but never living.”

“Sooner or later that which is now life shall be poetry, and every fair and manly trait shall add a richer strain to the song.”

“The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength. To feel the earth as rough to all my length”

“Playing a violin is, after all, only scraping a cat's entrails with horsehair.”

“Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs.”

“People will hate you for speaking the truth, but you've gotta learn to stand up to them, so don't be offended if I say something you don't like.”

“Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.”

“In coming to understand anything we are rejecting the facts as they are for us in favour of the facts as they are.”
