Books are like rainbows to be thankfully received in their first impression . . . I owed -- my friend and I -- owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavat Geeta. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spake to us, nothing small or unworthy but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us. -- (From The Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks of Ralph Waldo Emerson, vol. x, p. 360.)

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. -- Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
