# Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson (25 de maio de 1803, Boston, Massachusetts, EUA - 27 de abril de 1882, Concord, Massachusettes) foi um famoso escritor, filósofo e poeta dos Estados Unidos da América.
"É a profundidade com a qual vivemos e não a duração superficial que importa. Nós compomos a eternidade... e,de fato, a menor aceleração de nosso pensamento, e ao mínimo aumento da força do pensamento, fazemos a vida parecer e ser de vasta duração."
