"Standing on the bare earth, - my mind bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, - all indicate egotism vanishes. I turn into a translucent eye-ball; I am nothing at all; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "A living dog is preferable to a dead lion. Shall a guy go and suspend himself because he is one of the contest of pygmies, and not be the biggest pygmy that he is able to? Let everyone brain his own business, and endeavor to be what he was made. Why should we maintain such needy haste to succeed and in such needy enterprises? If a guy does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears another type of drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however assessed or far away." - Henry David Thoreau In the mid-19th century, Passionate books was still completely bloom across the West, however, many American authors commenced producing books that, while still Passionate, was unique enough to certainly be a different genre. This new genre, Transcendentalism, focused on the spirituality of the self applied and aspect, not rejecting religion outright but concentrating on pragmatism and the value of people as the spiritual center of the cosmos. In addition to drawing after age Enlightenment, Transcendentalist authors also used the philosophy of Plato, who trained that self-fulfillment through attaining knowledge should be an individual's ultimate goal. The leader of Transcendentalism, and the person who ushered the movement's methods and books, was Ralph Waldo Emerson.
