Seeker

Famous quotes containing the word seeker:

“But lest I should mislead any when I have my own head and obey my whims, let me remind the reader that I am only an experimenter. Do not set the least value on what I do, or the least discredit on what I do not, as if I pretended to settle any thing as true or false. I unsettle all things. No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker with no Past at my back.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“He was always a seeker after something in the world that is there in no satisfying measure, or not at all.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)

“How much more the seeker of abstract truth, who needs periods of isolation, and rapt concentration, and almost a going out of the body to think!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
