Person Appearing

Famous quotes containing the words person and/or appearing:

    A new person is to me a great event, and hinders me from sleep. I have often had fine fancies about persons which have given me delicious hours; but the joy ends in the day; it yields no fruit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is bad enough that our geniuses cannot do anything useful, but it is worse that no man is fit for society who has fine traits. He is admired at a distance, but he cannot come near without appearing a cripple.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
