“The stars have us to bed: Night draws the curtain; which the sun withdraws. Music”

“Love is as much its demand as perception. Indeed, neither can be perfect without the other.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Empirical science is apt to cloud the sight, and by the very knowledge of functions and processes to bereave the student of the manly contemplation of the whole. The savant becomes unpoetic.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It is the business of the very few to be independent; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it, even with the best right, but without being OBLIGED to do so, proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring beyond measure. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold the dangers which life in itself already brings with it; not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes isolated, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing such a one comes to grief, it is so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it, nor sympathize with it. And he cannot any longer go back! He cannot even go back again to the sympathy of men! 30.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
