Ralph Waldo Emerson
2017 citations

But, if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from these heavenly worlds, will separate between him and what he touches. One might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime... But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile. ✨ Ralph Waldo Emerson (1983). Essays and Lectures, p.9, Library of America
