"Deep insight will always, like Nature, ultimate..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It is defeat which educates us.”

“Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?”

“Nature is a tropical swamp in sunshine, on whose purlieus we hear the song of summer birds, and see prismatic dewdrops, - but her interiors are terrific, full of hydras and crocodiles.”

“It's like the sound of a chuckle in the darkness. The sense that some shattering and disarming simplicity is the real answer.”

“If you are a seer, whenever you meet a man you will see all that he owns, ay, and much that he pretends to disown, behind him.”

“Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.”

“He (the sage) wants all things to follow their own nature, but dares not act.”

“The day is conscious of itself.”

“I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars.”
