Quote #1-Self Reliance- "what have to do with all the sacredness of traditions , if i live wholly from within"- In this quote he is explaining how he does not bother with traditions because they are not his own, and if they are not his own then why should he bother with them in the first place? i like this quote because it explains how something like religion wont mean a thing unless it is within your core values and beleifes.
Quote #2-Self Reliance- "truth is more handsome than the affection of love. your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none". This may be my favorite quote so far because it make so much sense, if you are always happy go lucky never mad angry or sad then you are not a real person and somebody who is not a real person cannot have real person felings. i think that the meaning of this quote is to not be fake becuase it is not you.
Quote #3- Natue- "The stars awaken a certain reverence, because they are not always present they are inaccessible;but all natural objects make a kindred impression when the mind is open to their influence". i think that this quote is using the stars as a metafore for other things, sort of saying when you are really phyced or sad on something that its not just that one moment it is there, it is always there, but when the mind is open to it thats when it can make its impression.
Quote #4-"....The lover of nature is he whos inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each othere;who has retained the spirit of infancy into the era of manhood" the way i see this quote is like the only person who can be in tune with nature has to be in tune with himself, in and out and in tune with all stages of his life, he must be true to hiimself and only himself and not let other people shape him in any way shape or form.
