Transcendentalism

transcript

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.” -Henry David Thoreau

“Don’t waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own.”

-Margaret Fuller

“As we grow old…the beauty steals inward.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Only the dreamer shall understand realities,

though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion

to his waking.”

“Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.”

“Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life.”

“Very early, I knew that the only object in life was to grow.”

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen

“With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.”
