“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson was a cyberpunk. An American outcast who professed a philosophy of inner exploration, experimentation, navigation, direction, and control. He championed the American rebellious ideas of intelligent self-reliance, inner transcendent exploration, and thoughtful questioning of authority. He was an influential philosopher whom Nietzsche called "the most gifted of the Americans."

RW Emerson was born in May 25, 1803 and died April 27, 1882.

A legend! Here's one of my favorite quotes by R.W. Emerson: "What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you."
