Ralph Waldo Emerson Ears Quotations

The eye is the painter and the ear the singer.

There are men too superior to be seen except by a few, as there are notes too high for the scale of most ears.

There is a good ear, in some men, that draws supplies to virtue out of very indifferent nutriment.

Tis the good reader that makes the good book; a good head cannot read amiss: in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakeably meant for his ear.
