Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes About Atmosphere

• Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and literature looks like word-catching. The simplest utterances are worthiest to bewritten, yet are they so cheap, and so things of course, that, in the infinite riches of the soul, it is like gathering a few pebbles off the ground, or bottling a little air in a phial, when the whole earth and the whole atmosphere are ours.

But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.
