New Ideas Expand into a Distant and Dazzling Infinity


"There is a pleasure in the thought that the particular tone of my mind at this moment may be new in the universe; that the emotions of this hour may be peculiar and unexampled in the whole eternity of moral being.  I a lead a new life.  I occupy new ground in the worlds of spirits, untenanted before.  I commence a career of thought and action which is expanding before me into a distant and dazzling infinity.  Strange thoughts start up like angels in my way and beckon me onward.  I doubt not that I tread on the highway that leads to the Divinity."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
