More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

The arts are not a frill. the arts are a response to our individuality and our nature, and help to shape our identity. what is there that can transcend deep difference and stubborn divisions? the arts. they have a wonderful universality. art has the potential to unify. it can speak in many languages without a translator. the arts do not discriminate. the arts lift us up.

Everything established, settled, everything to do with home and order and the common ground, has crumbled into dust and has been swept away in the general upheaval and reorganization of the whole of society. the whole human way of life has been destroyed and ruined. all that's left is the bare, shivering human soul, stripped to the last shred, the naked force of the human psyche for which nothing has changed because it was always cold and shivering and reaching out to its nearest neighbor, as cold and lonely as itself.

Dancing and building are the two primary and essential arts. the art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that expressthemselves first in the human person. the art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite. music, acting, poetry proceed in the one mighty stream; sculpture, painting, all the arts of design, in the other. there is no primary art outside these two arts, for their origin is far earlier than man himself; and dancing came first.

Surely everyone is aware of the divine pleasures which attend a wintry fireside; candles at four o'clock, warm hearthrugs, tea, a fair tea-maker, shutters closed, curtains flowing in ample draperies to the floor, whilst the wind and rain are raging audibly without.

Yes, the south-becoming always poorer-and the north-becoming always richer ...richer, too in the resources of weapons with which the superpowers and blocs can mutually threaten each other. in the light of christ's words (mt. 25), this poor south will judge the rich north. and the poor people and poor nations-poor in different ways, not only lacking food, but also deprived of freedom and other human right-will judge those people who take these goods away from them, amassing to themselves the imperialist monopoly and political supremacy at the expense of others.

Feminists do the best photoshop because they leave the meat on your bones. they don’t change your size or your skin color. they leave in your disgusting knuckles, but they may take out some armpit stubble. not because they’re denying its existence, but because they understand that it’s okay to make a photo look as if you were caught on your best day in the best light.

Full many a glorious morn i have seen flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye, kissing with golden face the meadows green, gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy.

Hitherto your eyes have been darkened and you have looked too much, yes, far too much, upon the things of earth. if these so much delight you what shall be your rapture when you lift your gaze to things eternal!

In this place of light: he dares to live who stops being a bird, yet beats his wings against the immense immeasurable emptiness of things.
