WIST Quotations<p>A quotation from <b>Emerson</b></p><blockquote>The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda, — these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs. You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughter-house is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity, expensive races, — race living at the expense of race.</blockquote><p><b>Ralph Waldo Emerson</b> (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet<br>Essay (1860), “Fate,” <i>The Conduct of Life</i>, ch. 1</p><p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/emerson-ralph-waldo/41563/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/emerson-ralph-waldo/…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>animals</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=carnivore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>carnivore</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=circleoflife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>circleoflife</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=complicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complicity</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dining</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=guilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guilt</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=meat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meat</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=predation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>predation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=savagery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>savagery</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=slaughter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slaughter</span></a></p>
