emerson in da' house...

an excerpt from the incredibly inspiring essay penned by emerson on the importance of self-reliance: "What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."
