Scholars Alive

Famous quotes containing the words scholars and/or alive:

    Let ideas establish their legitimate sway again in society, let life be fair and poetic, and the scholars will gladly be lovers, citizens, and philanthropists.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The novel is the one bright book of life. Books are not life. They are only tremulations on the ether. But the novel as a tremulation can make the whole man alive tremble.
