    “Solitude is impractical, and society fatal. We must keep our head in the one and our hands in the other. The conditions are met, if we keep our independence, yet do not lose our sympathy.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “What is it? a learned man
    Could give it a clumsy name.

    The beauty would be the same.”
