Waldo

Famous quotes containing the word waldo:

“We want some coat woven of elastic steel, stout as the first, and limber as the second. We want a ship in these billows we inhabit. An angular, dogmatic house would be rent to chips and splinters, in this storm of many elements. No, it must be tight, and fit to the form of man, to live at all; as a shell is the architecture of a house founded on the sea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o’er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Cities give us collision. ‘Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
