Ralph Waldo Emerson
2017 citations

Nature is a language and every new fact one learns is a new word; but it is not a language taken to pieces and dead in the dictionary, but the language put together into a most significant and universal sense. I wish to learn this language - not that I may know a new grammar, but that I may read the great book which is written in that tongue. ✨ Emerson: The Mind on Fire by Robert D. Richardson, University of California Press, (p. 155), March 6, 1995.
