The traveller knows not who may be concealed by the innumerable trunks and the thick boughs overhead; so that with lonely footsteps he may yet be passing through an unseen multitude.

...happiness is not found in things you possess, but in what you have the courage to release...

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Let men tremble to win the han...

Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Writing can come naturally to some. Still, when it comes to good writing, this is true: Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It loves more readily than it ...

It loves more readily than it hates.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

In youth men are apt to write ...

In youth men are apt to write more wisely than they really know or feel; and the remainder of life may be not idly spent in realizing and convincing themselves of the wisdom which they uttered long ago.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

New England is quite as large ...

New England is quite as large a lump of earth as my heart can really take in.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

In all her intercourse with so...

In all her intercourse with society, however, there was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it... She stood apart from mortal interests, yet close beside them, like a ghost that revisits the familiar fireside, and can no longer make itself seen or felt.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Such has often been my apathy,...

Such has often been my apathy, when objects long sought, and earnestly desired, were placed within my reach.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Some illusions...are the shadows of great truths.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

She had wandered, without rule...

She had wandered, without rule or guidance, into a moral wilderness... Her intellect and heart had their home, as it were, in desert places, where she roamed as freely as the wild Indian in his woods... The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachersЂ'stern and wild onesЂ'and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Many writers lay very great st...

Many writers lay very great stress upon some definite moral purpose, at which they profess to aim their works.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It will startle you to see wha...

It will startle you to see what slaves we are to by-gone times-to Death, if we give the matter the right word! ... We read in Dead Men's books! We laugh at Dead Men's jokes, and cry at Dead Men's pathos! . . . Whatever we seek to do, of our own free motion, a Dead Man's icy hand obstructs us!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

My wife is - in the strictest ...

My wife is - in the strictest sense - my sole companion, and I need no other. There is no vacancy in my mind any more than in my heart.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Truth often finds its way to t...

Truth often finds its way to the mind close muffled in robes of sleep, and then speaks with uncompromising directness of matters in regard to which we practise an unconscious self-deception during our waking moments.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

it is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Happiness is like a butterfly ...

Happiness is like a butterfly - the more you chase, the more subtle, but if you stop moving and quietly wait for it to land on you.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

'What is the Unpardonable Sin'...

'What is the Unpardonable Sin' asked the lime-burner 'It is a sin that grew within my own breast', replied Ethan Brand 'The sin of an intellect that triumphed over the sense of brotherhood with man and reverence for God'.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There can be...no power...to d...

There can be...no power...to disclose...the secrets that may be buried with a human heart. The heart, making itself guilty of such secrets, must perforce hold them until the day when all hidden things be revealed.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The thing you set your mind on...

The thing you set your mind on is the thing you ultimately become.
