First Impression of : On Self - Reliance


  • Our acts our angels are, or good or ill
  • Nature is PRIMAL
  • Original : distinct
  • Abomination : lecture / warning
  • “To believe your own thoughts, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius.”
  • Latent : hidden
  • Toil:work
  • How can you be yourself and be someone else at the same time?
My first impression of, “On Self - Reliance”, it made me interested in the essay when Emerson starts off with, “Ne te quaesiiveriis extra.”  I was very interested because this is Latin.  Most of Emerson’s writing is a bit confusing but eventually you understand all the words within.
