Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes:
Ocupation: Essayist
Life: May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882
Birthday: May 25
Death: April 27
So in writing, there is always a right word, and every other than that is wrong. There is no beauty in words except in their collocation. The effect of a fanciful word misplaced, is like that of a horn of exquisite polish growing on a human head.
