"Exaggeration is in the course of things. Nature……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Exaggeration is in the course of things. Nature sends no creature, no man into the world, without adding a small excess of his proper quality. Given the planet, it is still necessary to add the impulse; so, to every creature nature added a little violence of direction in its proper path, a shove to put it on its way; in every instance, a slight generosity, a drop too much."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
