“Away profane philosopher! seekest thou in nature the cause? This refers to that, and that to the next, and the next to the third, and everything refers.

Known it will not be, but gladly beloved and enjoyed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One should never make one’s debut with a scandal. One should reserve that to give an interest to one’s old age.”
