    Hi Daniel: “independence of solitude” is, indeed, from Emerson – I actually give the
    longer Emerson quote in my essay, with an attribution, which you must have missed. I
    certainly recommend the Emerson essay, “Self-Reliance”, from which the quote comes.
    Overall, I don’t find Emerson to my taste, but found that one essay enjoyable and
    thought-provoking.

  2. Yep. Seems like I missed the quote.
