“History”
The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Abstract: History is within everyone, so living life is the best way to know history/people/life. History books should be written from this more open, organic perspective. Someone experiencing life is closer to true knowledge than someone who reads about it.
