Thin People

“With each divine impulse the mind rends the thin rinds of the visible and finite, and comes out into eternity, and inspires and expires its air.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If forty million people say a foolish thing it does not become a wise one, but the wise man is foolish to give them the lie.”
