Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.
About This Quote
This quote is about how we use the world around us to connect with others and learn about ourselves. When we look at books and magazines, we can find so much information about the world and different cultures and experiences. We can find stories that teach us how to live better lives. Instead, we should take time to read our own eyes. We could use this information to figure out what makes us happy and what we want in life.
