“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of science” – Albert Einstein
“The future is not some place we are going to. but one we are creating.” – Deborah James
All of these quotes have something in common. The ability to describe different stages of life through quotes. All three authors are different in many ways. Some are from long away, males and females, and different word usage. The common phrase is the hope in the future that things will be different. Emerson describes keeping the “beautiful” and carrying that with us long term. Einstein describes the “beautiful” as a mystery and how sourced science is found. James describes the future as not just one destination but as a work in process.
The emphasizes on beauty and future make these quotes perfect for side by side comparison. Although these were written in different times by different people with different goals in mind they have the same theme. The theme of wishing for a better tomorrow and a better day. This theme is important because it keeps a bond between these quotes making them relatable and timeless. The timeless effort of theses quotes make them even more interesting to read and translate. Getting different ideas and opinions about one single quotes keeps the freshness and curiosity that each one of the quotes provides. Making them timeless literature quote.
Sincerely,
