In the first quote "Imitation is suicide" I believe it means that Emerson believes people are blindly following through peer pressure, and to do that you are killing yourself by succumbing to others ideas and becoming them. This idea is continued by "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your mind, " and "No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature," both of these seem to talk about independence from religion or at least striving for independent thought.]]> 2022-11-16 08:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferkindred/x8ywn76s06x6bkha/wish/2386218044
