"In self-trust all the virtues are comprehended. Free should the scholar be, -- free and brave. Free even to the definition of freedom, 'without any hindrance that does not arise out of his own constitution.' Brave; for fear is a thing which a scholar by his very function puts behind him. Fear always springs from ignorance. It is a shame to him if his tranquility, amid dangerous times, arise from the presumption that, like children and women, his is a protected class; or if he seek a temporary peace by the diversion of his thoughts from politics or vexed questions, hiding his head like an ostrich in the flowering bushes, peeping into microscopes, and turning rhymes, as a boy whistles to keep his courage up. So is the danger a danger still; so is the fear worse. Manlike let him turn and face it. Let him look into its eye and search its nature, inspect its origin, -- see the whelping of this lion, which lies no great way back; he will then find in himself a perfect comprehension of its nature and extent; he will have made his hands meet on the other side, and can henceforth defy it, and pass on superior. The world is his, who can see through its pretension. What deafness, what stone-blind custom, what overgrown error you behold, is there only by sufferance, -- by your sufferance. See it to be a lie, and you have already dealt it its mortal blow.
"Yes, we are the cowed -- we the trustless. It is a mischievous notion that we are come late into Nature; that the world was finished a long time ago. As the world was plastic and fluid in the hands of God, so it is ever to so much of his attributes as we bring to it. To ignorance and sin, it is flint. They adapt themselves to it as they may; but in proportion as a man has anything in him divine, the firmament flows before him and takes his signet and form. Not he is great who can alter matter, but he who can alter my state of mind..."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, from "The American Scholar," An Oration Delivered Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, at Cambridge, Mass., August 31, 1837.

I realize he is supposed to be a big time filmmaker and all. But how could anyone have predicted that this would lead to his actually owning the rights to World War II?!

What better way to get a sense of public thoughts and sentiments than to have a look over what they are or were reading? The following list are some titles taken from volume seven of Charles Evans' (1850-1935) American Bibliography: 1639-1820 of what was seen at American bookstores in the year 1786 (the Cambridge History of American Literature, vol. III by the way notes that James Buckland's An Account of the Discovery of a Hermit, Who Lived about 200 Years in a Cave at the Foot of a Hill, 73 Days Journey Westward of the Great Alleghany Mountains was "probably the best domestic seller of 1786.")
