More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. at first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. out of my heart a bird flew skywards. and it waxed larger as it flew. yet it left not my heart.

Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself. . . . further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. the work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. to be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility.

No, i'm not religious, i'm sorry to say. but i was once and shall be again. there is no time now to be religious." "no time. does it need time to be religious?" "oh, yes. to be religious you must have time and, even more, independence of time. you can't be religious in earnest and at the same time live in actual things and still take them seriously, time and money and the odéon bar and all that.
Religious Sorry Independence
Either i'm a genius or i'm mad, which is it? "no," i said, "i can't be mad because nobody's put me away; therefore i'm a genius." genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. but i used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. but if there's such a thing as genius - i am one. and if there isn't, i don't care.
