I find nothing so singular to life as that everything appears to lose its substance the instant one actually grapples with it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is so much wretchedness ...

There is so much wretchedness in the world, that we may safely take the word of any mortal professing to need our assistance; and, even should we be deceived, still the good to ourselves resulting from a kind act is worth more than the trifle by which we purchase it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

What, in the name of common-sense, had I to do with any better society than I had always lived in?

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

My heart was a habitation larg...

My heart was a habitation large enough for many guests, but lonely and chill, and without a household fire. I longed to kindle one! It seemed not so wild a dream.

Families are always rising and falling in America.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

No author, without a trial, ca...

No author, without a trial, can conceive of the difficulty of writing a romance about a country where there is no shadow, no antiquity, no mystery, no picturesque and gloomy wrong, nor anything but a commonplace prosperity, in broad and simple daylight, as is happily the case with my dear native land.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Mankind are earthen jugs with spirits in them.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

This world owes all its forward impulses to people ill at ease.

Trusting no man as his friend,...

Death was too definite an object to be wished for or avoided.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

A writer of story books! What kind of business in life-what mode of glorifying God, or being serviceable to mankind in his day and generation-may that be? Why, the degenerate fellow might as well have been a fiddler!

This above all: be true, be true, be true.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

If the truth were to be known,...

If the truth were to be known, everyone would be wearing a scarlet letter of one form or another.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Wherever there is a heart and an intellect, the diseases of the physical frame are tinged with the peculiarities of these.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

I wish I had the gift of making rhymes, for methinks there is poetry in my head and heart since I have been in love with you.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

But this had been a sin of passion, not of principle, nor even purpose.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

To the untrue man, the whole u...

To the untrue man, the whole universe is false- it is impalpable- it shrinks to nothing within his grasp. And he himself is in so far as he shows himself in a false light, becomes a shadow, or, indeed, ceases to exist.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Life, within doors, has few pl...

Life, within doors, has few pleasanter prospects than a neatly-arranged and well-provisioned breakfast-table. We come to it freshly, in the dewy youth of the day, and when our spiritual and sensual elements are in better accord than at a later period; so that the material delights of the morning meal are capable of being fully enjoyed, without any very grievous reproaches, whether gastric or conscientious, for yielding even a trifle overmuch to the animal department of our nature.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The inward pleasure of imparti...

The inward pleasure of imparting pleasure - that is the choicest of all.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

All merely graceful attributes...

All merely graceful attributes are usually the most evanescent.
