Seeker

Famous quotes containing the word seeker:

    How much more the seeker of abstract truth, who needs periods of isolation, and rapt concentration, and almost a going out of the body to think!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    He was always a seeker after something in the world that is there in no satisfying measure, or not at all.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    But lest I should mislead any when I have my own head and obey my whims, let me remind the reader that I am only an experimenter. Do not set the least value on what I do, or the least discredit on what I do not, as if I pretended to settle any thing as true or false. I unsettle all things. No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker with no Past at my back.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
