More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

We [christians] have the dilemma of using a symbol system that was not made for our worldview, to give our worldview... i think the thing we're waiting for is a genius to come forth who can either make a new symbol system which is still modern, or more properly, as symbol systems don't come overnight, a group of people to modify the symbol systems of our day, so that we can use them for our christian message without a disadvantage.

For, when men shall meet as they ought, each a benefactor, a shower of stars, clothed with thoughts, with deeds, with accomplishments, it should be the festival of nature which all things announce. of such friendship, love in the sexes is the first symbol, as all other things are symbols of love. those relations to the best men, which, at one time, we reckoned the romances of youth, become, in the progress of character, the most solid enjoyment.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

A sex-symbol becomes a thing, i just hate being a thing. but if i'm going to be a symbol of something i'd rather have it sex than some other things we've got symbols of.

Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.

At the end, all that's left of you are your possessions. perhaps that's why i've never been able to throw anything away. perhaps that's why i hoarded the world: with the hope that when i died, the sum total of my things would suggest a life larger than the one i lived.
