"A beautiful woman is a practical poet...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Style is only the frame to hold your thoughts. It is like the sash of a window; if heavy, it will obscure the light.”

“But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will separate between him and vulgar things.”

“There is ever a slight suspicion of the burlesque about earnest good men.”

“If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is ugliness.”

“Oh, to love what is lovely, and will not last!What a taskto askof anything, or anyone,yet it is ours,and not by the century or the year, but by the hours.”

“It sometimes strikes me how immensely fortunate I am that each day should take its place in my life, either reddened with the rising and setting sun, or refreshingly cool with deep, dark clouds, or blooming like a white flower in the moonlight. What untold wealth!”

“I love saying 'yes' and I love saying 'please.' Saying 'yes' doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying 'please' doesn't mean I am waiting for permission. 'Yes please' sounds powerful and concise. It's a response and a request. It is not about being a good girl; it is about being a real woman.”

“But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.”

“Man's objection to love is that it dies hard: women's, that when it is dead it stays dead.”
