A collection of Famous poets and writers and their books.

Works Of Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
The earth laughs in flowers.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.
Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Edgar Allan Poe

And so being young and dipped in folly I fell in love with melancholy.
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.
Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.
I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.
With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.

Charles Bukowski

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.
You have to die a few times before you can really
live.

There is a place in the heart that
will never be filled

a space

and even during the
best moments
and
the greatest times
times

we will know it

we will know it
more than
ever

there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled
and

we will wait
and
wait

in that space.
