Matching Quote
"Genius is the naturalist or
geographer
of the supersensible regions, and draws their map; and, by acquainting us with new fields of activity, cools our affection for the old. These are at once accepted as the reality, of which the world we have conversed with is the show."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
