"Great men do not content us. It..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The secret of genius is to suffer no fiction to exist for us; to realize all that we know; in the high refinement of modern life,in arts, in sciences, in books, in men, to exact good faith, reality, and a purpose; and first, last, midst, and without end, to honor every truth by use.”

“The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all.”

“The vanishing, volatile froth of the present which any shadow will alter, any thought blow away, any event annihilate, is every moment converted into the adamantine.”

“The great leaders in history were great not because of what they owned or earned but because of what they gave their lives to accomplish. They made a difference!”

“It is not the strengths, but the durations of great sentiments that make great men.”

“I think great movies have to have some great moments in them to bring them up to that level.”

“The secret of a good old age is simply an honorable pact with solitude.”

“I am alone with the masses.”

“When the chips are down, you are alone, and loneliness can be terrifying. Fortunately, I've always had a chum I could call. And I love to be alone. It doesn't bother me one bit. I’m my own company.”
