From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2007-01-12:
"Great geniuses have the shortest biographies. Their cousins can tell you nothing about them. They lived in their writings, and so their house and street life was trivial and commonplace." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, in Plato; or, the Philosopher (1850).
