Ralph Waldo Emerson Shadow Quotations

We learn that God IS; that he is in me; and that all things are shadows of him.

All history is but the lengthened shadow of a great man.

An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man.

Nature and literature are subjective phenomena; every evil and every good thing is a shadow which we cast

The vanishing, volatile froth of the present which any shadow will alter, any thought blow away, any event annihilate, is every moment converted into the adamantine.
