Dream strange things and make ...

Dream strange things and make them look like truth.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

A screen... the scenery and th...

A screen... the scenery and the figures of life were perfectly represented, but with that bewitching, yet indescribably difference, which always makes a picture, an image, or a shadow, so much more attractive than the original.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Let the attempt be made, at wh...

Let the attempt be made, at whatever risk.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Masculine observers, if the bi...

Masculine observers, if the birth-mark did not heighten their admiration, contented themselves with wishing it away, that the world might possess one living specimen of ideal loveliness, without the semblance of a flaw.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Would Time but await the close...

Would Time but await the close of our favorite follies, we should all be young men, all of us, and until Doom's Day.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Now are ye undeceived. Evil is the nature of mankind. Evil must be your only happiness. Welcome again, my children, to the communion of your race.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

We sometimes congratulate ours...

We sometimes congratulate ourselves...

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Before this ugly edifice, and ...

Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-pern, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilized society, a prison.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Sleeping or waking, we hear no...

Sleeping or waking, we hear not the airy footsteps of the strange things that almost happen.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Or-but this more rarely happen...

Or-but this more rarely happened-she would be convulsed with a rage of grief, and sob out her love for her mother, in broken words, and seem intent on proving that she had a heart, by breaking it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

To-morrow would bring its own ...

To-morrow would bring its own trial with it; so would the next day, and so would the next; each its own trial, and yet the very same that was now so unutterably grievous to be borne. The days of the far-off future would toil onward, still with the same burden for her to take up, and bear along with her, but never to fling down; for the accumulating days, and added years, would pile up their misery upon the heap of shame.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

When the Artist rises high eno...

When the Artist rises high enough to achieve the Beautiful, the symbol by which he makes it perceptible to mortal senses becomes of little value in his eyes, while his spirit possesses
itself in the enjoyment of the reality.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The moment when a man's head d...

The moment when a man's head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Nervous and excitable persons ...

Nervous and excitable persons need to talk a great deal, by way of letting off their steam.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Let the black flower blossom as it may!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

When romances do really teach ...

When romances do really teach anything, or produce any effective operation, it is usually through a far more subtle process than the ostensible one. The author has considered it hardly worth his while, therefore, relentlessly to impale the story with its moral as with an iron rod-or, rather, as by sticking a pin through a butterfly-thus at once depriving it of life, and causing it to stiffen in an ungainly and unnatural attitude.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Happiness is like a butterfly....

Happiness is like a butterfly...

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

We are as happy as people can ...

We are as happy as people can be, without making themselves ridiculous, and might be even happier; but, as a matter of taste, we choose to stop short at this point.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

We dream in our waking moments...

We dream in our waking moments, and walk in our sleep.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Technologies of easy travel give us wings; they annihilate the toil and dust of pilgrimage; they spiritualize travel! Transition being so facile, what can be any man's inducement to tarry in one spot?
