I think that the heroism which at this day would make on us the impression of epaminondas and phocion must be that of a domestic conqueror. he who shall bravely and gracefully subdue this gorgon of convention and fashion, and show men how to lead a clean, handsome and heroic life amid the beggarly elements of our cities and villages; whoso shall teach me how to eat my meat and take my repose and deal with men, without any shame following, will restore the life of man to splendor, and make his own name dear to all history.

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm a vegetarian. you're a what? i don't eat meat. how can you not eat meat? i just don't. he says he does not eat meat. what? no meat? no meat. steak? no... chickens! no... and what about the sausage? no, no sausage, no meat! he says he does not eat any meat. not even sausage? i know! what is wrong with him? what is wrong with you? nothing, i just don't eat meat!
Meat Doe Sausage
Amid the moon and the stars, amid the clouds of the night, amid the hills which bordered on the sky with their magnificent silhouette of pointed cedars, amid the speckled patches of the moon, amid the temple buildings that emerged sparkling white out of the surrounding darkness - amid all this, i was intoxicated by the pellucid beauty of uiko's treachery.
Stars Moon Night
Dear god, i prayed, all unafraid (as we're inclined to do), i do not need a handsome man but let him be like you; i do not need one big and strong nor yet so very tall, nor need he be some genius, or wealthy, lord, at all; but let his head be high, dear god, and let his eye be clear, his shoulders straight, whate'er his state, whate'er his earthly sphere; and let his face have character, a ruggedness if soul, and let his whole life show, dear god, a singleness of goal; then when he comes (as he will come) with quiet eyes aglow, i'll understand that he's the man i prayed for long ago.
Strong Character Eye
I'm close to being a vegan, but i'm not one, technically. i don't eat eggs, or nearly any dairy - no cheese or milk. i do eat honey, and a piece of milk chocolate here and there. it's never really been that hard for me. i've never had any desire to eat meat. in fact, when i was a kid i would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. it had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that. i don't judge people who eat meat - that's not for me to say - but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.
Kids Eggs Perfect
The repose necessary to all beauty is repose, not of inanition, nor of luxury, nor of irresolution, but the repose of magnificent energy and being; in action, the calmness of trust and determination; in rest, the consciousness of duty accomplished and of victory won; and this repose and this felicity can take place as well in the midst of trial and tempest, as beside the waters of comfort.
Determination Luxury Water
The way our big cities change sucks. the beauty of cities was that they were edgy, sometimes even a little dangerous. artists, poets, and activists could come and unify and create different kinds of scenes. not just fashion scenes, scenes that were politically active. big cities are getting so high-end oriented, business corporate fashion, fashion not in an artistic sense but in a corporate sense. for me that edgy beauty of cities is lost, wherever you go.
