Ralph Waldo Emerson
“People destined to meet will do so, apparently by chance, at precisely the right moment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its members. Society is a joint-stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance: An Excerpt from Collected Essays, First Series

Diane Ackerman
“Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table. Even a tiny fleck of it stops time.”
Diane Ackerman

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life, mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

E.E. Cummings
“i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh ... And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new.”
e.e. cummings
