Death should take me while I am in the mood.

Labor is the curse of the world, and nobody can meddle with it without becoming proportionately brutalized.

Echo is the voice of a reflection in a mirror.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

...and we have so far improved...

...and we have so far improved upon the custom of Adam and Eve, that we generally furnish forth our feasts with a portion of some delicate calf or lamb, whose unspotted innocence entitles them to the happiness of becoming our sustenance.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

But she named the infant 'Pearl,' as being of great price-purchased with all she had-her mother's only treasure!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

We men of study, whose heads are in our books, have need to be straightly looked after! We dream in our waking moments, and walk in our sleep.

In this republican country, amid the fluctuating waves of our social life, somebody is always at the drowning-point.

Strength is incomprehensible by weakness, and, therefore, the more terrible.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Why are poets so apt to choose...

Why are poets so apt to choose their mates, not for any similarity of poetic endowment, but for qualities which might make the happiness of the rudest handicraftsman as well as that of the ideal craftsman of the spirit? Because, probably, at his highest elevation, the poet needs no human intercourse; but he finds it dreary to descend, and be a stranger.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

And what is more melancholy th...

And what is more melancholy than the old apple-trees that linger about the spot where once stood a homestead, but where there is now only a ruined chimney rising our of a grassy and weed-grown cellar? They offer their fruit to every wayfarer--apples that are bitter-sweet with the moral of times vicissitude.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

When individuals approach one ...

When individuals approach one another with deep purposes on both sides they seldom come at once to the matter which they have most at heart. They dread the electric shock of a too sudden contact with it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

An unhappy gentleman, resolving to wed nothing short of perfection, keeps his heart and hand till both get so old and withered that no tolerable woman will accept them.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It is a little remarkable, that - though disinclined to talk overmuch of myself and my affairs at the fireside, and to my personal friends - an autobiographical impulse should twice in my life have taken possession of me, in addressing the public.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Some maladies are rich and precious and only to be acquired by the right of inheritance or purchased with gold.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Human nature will not flourish...

Human nature will not flourish, any more than a potato, if it be planted and replanted, for too long a series of generations, in the same worn-out soil. My children have had other birthplaces, and, so far as their fortunes may be within my control, shall strike their roots into unaccustomed earth.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It is my opinion that a man's ...

It is my opinion that a man's soul may be buried and perish under a dung-heap, or in a furrow field, just as well as under a pile of money.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The love of posterity is the consequence of the necessity of death. If a man were sure of living forever here, he would not care about his offspring.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Be true! Be true! Be true! Sho...

Be true! Be true! Be true! Show freely to the world, if not your worst, yet some trait whereby the worst may be inferred!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

No, my little Pearl! Thou must...

No, my little Pearl! Thou must gather thine own sunshine. I have none to give thee.

Oh, for the years I have not lived, but only dreamed of living.
