【名人對拉爾夫‧愛默生的評價】

愛默生是確立美國文化精神的代表人物，就像雨果之於法國、托爾斯泰之於俄國、孔子之於中國一樣，愛默生確立了美國模式。

──美國總統詹森

我的思想猶如滋滋作響的熱水，而愛默生終於使它們沸騰。

──美國著名詩人華特‧惠特曼

在他周圍不可能不或多或少吸進一些他高尚思想的空氣，這會令一些人產生一種異常的眩暈──新的真理像新酒一樣醉人。

──美國作家霍桑

他的許多散文已與教義經典一樣寶貴，有些詩歌像讚美詩一樣神聖而膾炙人口，因為對人有益、催人向上。

──美國作家露意莎‧梅‧奧爾柯特

【傳記作者談本書】

「日記記錄的內容包含著從他的大學時光一直延續到他人生最後的盡頭：相比於愛默生公開發表的文章而言，閱讀這些日記也無法將我們與他的關係拉近一些。因此，我不得不對這些日記的內容進行分割或是重新安排──當然，我情非所願──我通常需要用自己的語言去表達愛默生的觀點，而不是簡單地讓愛默生透過他的日記來講述他的故事。」──詹姆斯‧艾略特‧卡伯特
