“Every body we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The same principles which at first view lead to skepticism, pursued to a certain point, bring men back to common sense.”
