Words
Foreword
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
This book is an anthology of quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson and selected facts about Ralph Waldo Emerson.

.
Moving north to England, Emerson met William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Thomas Carlyle. Carlyle in particular was a strong influence on Emerson.
On January 24, 1835, Emerson wrote a letter to Lydia Jackson proposing marriage. Her acceptance reached him by mail on the 28th. Emerson quickly changed his wife's name to Lidian, and would call her Queenie, and sometimes Asia, and she
