We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
Ray Bradbury
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) was an American philosopher, essayist, and poet, best known for leading the Transcendentalist movement. His works emphasized individualism, self-reliance, and the connection between nature and the human spirit. Major works like Self-Reliance and Nature promoted personal intuition over societal norms. He was a mentor to Henry David Thoreau and influenced American thought on spirituality, literature, and social reform. His speeches and essays championed optimism, freedom, and the power of the individual mind.
