Matching Quote
"For it is a fire that, kindling its first embers in the narrow nook of a private bosom, caught from a wandering spark out of another private heart, glows and enlarges until it warms and beams upon
multitudes
of men and women, upon the universal heart of all, and so lights up the whole world and all nature with its generous flames."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
