"A man is known by the books..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“And truly it demands something godlike in him who cast off the common motives of humanity and ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster.”

“I think I have done well, if I have acquired a new word from a good author; and my business with him is to find my own, though itwere only to melt him down into an epithet or an image for daily use.”

“When I read a good book, I wish my life were three thousand years long.”

“A book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us.”

“I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.”

“I should infinitely prefer a book.”

“Never memorize something that you can look up.”

“Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough for literature. - Ralph Waldo Emerson”

“Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in your seeds.”
