Poetry Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.”

“It could be said that a single person has written all the books in the world such central unity is in them that they are undeniably the work of a single all-knowing master.”

“Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that unsuspected ripens within the flower of the pleasure which concealed it. Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed.”

“Imitation is suicide.”

“The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.”

“He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets — most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity, and reputation; but he shuts the door of truth.”

“I write, write and write but I can't find words that define what I feel inside.”

“It is not our job to remain whole.”

“How to be a Poet”

“A poem is a meteor.”

“كوته نكنم زدامنت دست - ور خود بزني به تيغ تيزم”

“The aim of science is to make difficult things understandable in a simpler way; the aim of poetry is to state simple things in an incomprehensible way. The two are incompatible.”
