—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Let the man stand on his feet. Let religion cease to be occasional; and the pulses of thought that go to the borders of the universe, let them proceed from the bosom of the Household.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The greatest part of intimate confidences proceed from a desire either to be pitied or admired.”
