"Popularity is for dolls...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more.”

“Treat your friend as a spectacle.”

“Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.”

“Popularity is the one insult I have never suffered.”

“In order to fully realize how bad a popular play can be, it is necessary to see it twice.”

“If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.”

“It's better being completely ridiculous than unbelievably boring.”

“There is probably no pleasure equal to the pleasure of climbing a dangerous Alp; but it is a pleasure which is confined strictly to people who can find pleasure in it.”

“Everyone has his own conscience,and there should be no rules abouthow a conscience should function.”
