“We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him.

― Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
