More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

So i should be aware of the dangers of self-consciousness, but at the same time, i’ll be plowing through the fog of all these echoes, plowing through mixed metaphors, noise, and will try to show the core, which is still there, as a core, and is valid, despite the fog. the core is the core is the core. there is always the core, that can’t be articulated. only caricatured.

Even the street, the sunshine, the very air had a special sunday quality. we walked differently on sundays, with greater propriety and stateliness. greetings were more formal, more subdued, voices more meticulously polite. everything was so smooth, bland, polished. and genuinely so, because this was sunday. in church the rustling and the stillness were alike pervaded with the knowledge that all was for the best. propriety ruled the universe. god was in his heaven, and we were in our sunday clothes.

I have no reverence for any book that teaches a doctrine contrary to my reason; no reverence for any book that teaches a doctrine contrary to my heart; and, no matter how old it is, no matter how many have believed it, no matter how many have died on account of it, no matter how many live for it, i have no reverence for that book, and i am glad of it.

How can the unknown merit reverence? in other words how can you revere that of which you are ignorant? at the same time, it would be ridiculous to propose that what we know merits reverence. what we know merits any one of a number of things, but it stands to reason reverence isn't one of them. in other words, apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there?
Knowledge Numbers Ignorant

I've been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let god out of the sunday morning box, that he doesn't want to just be with you for an hour or two on sunday morning and then put back in his box to sit there until you have an emergency, but he wants to invade your monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday.

Man is a stream whose source is hidden. our being is descending into us from we know not whence. the most exact calculator has noprescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. i am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will i call mine.
