More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our debt to tradition through reading and conversation is so massive, our protest so rare and insignificant-and this commonly on the ground of other reading and hearing-that in large sense, one would say there is no pure originality. all minds quote. old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. there is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands. by necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent.
Reading Two Mind
All minds quote. old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. there is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands. by necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. we quote not only books and proverbs, but arts, sciences, religion, customs, and laws; nay, we quote temples and houses, tables and chairs, by imitation.

Since the first human eye saw a leaf in devonian sandstone and a puzzled finger reached to touch it, sadness has lain over the heart of man. by this tenuous thread of living protoplasm, stretching backward into time, we are linked forever to lost beaches whose sands have long since hardened into stone. the stars that caught our blind amphibian stare have shifted far or vanished in their courses, but still that naked, glistening thread winds onward. no one knows the secret of its beginning or its end. its forms are phantoms. the thread alone is real; the thread is life.

There is a cheap literature that speaks to us of the need of escape. it is true that when we travel we are in search of distance. but distance is not to be found. it melts away. and escape has never led anywhere. the moment a man finds that he must play the races, go the arctic, or make war in order to feel himself alive, that man has begin to spin the strands that bind him to other men and to the world. but what wretched strands! a civilization that is really strong fills man to the brim, though he never stir. what are we worth when motionless, is the question.
