"There is something in all life, untranslatable into language. He who keeps his eye on that will write better than others, and think less of his writing, and of all writing. Every thought has a certain imprisoning as well as uplifting quality, and, in proportion to its energy on the will, refuses to become an object of intellectual contemplation. Thus what is great usually slips through our fingers, and it seems wonderful how a lifelike word ever comes to be written." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, "The Editor to the Reader," The Dial (Volume 1, Number 1, July 1840) -- reprinted in Paper Dreams
