More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

'ever seen a leaf - a leaf from a tree?' 'yes.' i saw one recently - a yellow one, a little green, wilted at the edges. blown by the wind. when i was a little boy, i used to shut my eyes in winter and imagine a green leaf, with veins on it, and the sun shining ...' 'what's this - an allegory?' "no; why? not an allegory - a leaf, just a leaf. a leaf is good. everything's good.'

I wish they would use english instead of greek words. when i want to know why a leaf is green, they tell me it is coloured by "chlorophyll," which at first sounds very instructive; but if they would only say plainly that a leaf is coloured green by a thing which is called "green leaf," we should see more precisely how far we had got.
Science Greek Wish
Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour. then leaf subsides to leaf. so eden sank to grief, so dawn goes down to day. nothing gold can stay.

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

The israelis object to an imposed settlement i don't know what they mean by an imposed settlement. it's quite obvious, without the all out support by the united states in money and weapons and so on the israelis couldn't do what they've been doing. so we bear a very great share of the responsibility for the continuation of this...of this state of warfare.

The difference between you and her (whom i to you did once prefer) is clear enough to settle: she like a diamond shone, but you shine like an early drop of dew poised on a red rose petal. the dew-drop carries in its eye mountain and forest, sea and sky, with every change of weather; contrariwise, a diamond splits the prospect into idle bits that none can piece together.

And then he was kissing her, and she was struck by his nearness, his solidity, his smell. it was of the garden and the earth and the sun. when cassandra opened her eyes, she realized she was crying. she wasn't sad, though, these were the tears of being found, of having come home after a long time away.

Individuals who have been wronged by unlawful racial discrimination should be made whole; but under our constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. that concept is alien to the constitution's focus upon the individual. ...to pursue the concept of racial entitlement - even for the most admirable and benign of purposes - is to reinforce and preserve for future mischief the way of thinking that produced race slavery, race privilege and race hatred. in the eyes of government, we are just one race here. it is american.
