    “Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”

    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “But not the tallest there, ‘tis said,
    Could fathom to this pond’s black bed.”
    —Edmund Blunden (1896–1974)

    “It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

    “At present, man applies to nature but half his force. He works on the world with his understanding alone. He lives in it, and masters it by a penny-wisdom; and he that works most in it, is but a half-man, and whilst his arms are strong and his digestion good, his mind is imbruted, and he is a selfish savage.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
