Be an opener of doors - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The life of man is a self-evolving circle, which, from a ring imperceptibly small, rushes on all sides outwards to new and larger circles, and that without end. The extent to which this generation of circles, wheel without wheel, will go, depends on the force or truth of the individual soul.

There may be two or three or four steps, according to the genius of each, but for every seeing soul there are two absorbing facts, — I and the abyss.

Daughters of Time, the hypocritic Days, Muffled and dumb like barefoot dervishes, And marching single in an endless file, Bring diadems and fagots in their hands.
