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? Why, therefore, should he build a more cumbrous habitation than can readily be carried off with him? Why should he make himself a prisoner for life in brick, and stone, and old worm-eaten timber, when he may just as easily dwell, in one sense, nowhere,-in a better sense, wherever the fit and beautiful shall offer him a h

It is not good for man to cherish a solitary ambition. Unless there be those around him, by whose example he may regulate himself, his thoughts, desires, and hopes will become extravagant, and he the semblance, perhaps the reality, of a madman

Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart!

Every crime destroys more Edens than our own

...Chillingworth was a striking evidence of man's faculty of transforming himself into a devil, if he will only, for a reasonable space of time, undertake a devil's office.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Each, in its utmost development, supposes a high degree of intimacy and heart-knowledge; each renders one individual dependent for the food of his affections and spiritual life upon another; each leaves the passionate lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by the withdrawal of his object.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The sorrow that lay cold in her mother's heart... converted it into a tomb.

There is something truer and more real, than what we can see with the eyes, and touch with the finger.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Faith is a grand cathedral, with divinely pictured windows - standing without, you can see no glory, nor can imagine any, but standing within every ray of light reveals a harmony of unspeakable splendors.

Shall we never never get rid of this Past? ... It lies upon the Present like a giant's dead body.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The book, if you would see any...

The book, if you would see anything in it, requires to be read in the clear, brown, twilight atmosphere in which it was written; if opened in the sunshine, it is apt to look exceedingly like a volume of blank pages.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

A few feathery flakes are scat...

A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

No summer ever came back, and ...

No summer ever came back, and no two summers ever were alike. Times change, and people change; and if our hearts do not change as readily, so much the worse for us.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The fiend in his own shape is less hideous than when he rages in the breast of men.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The greatest possible mint of style is to make the words absolutely disappear into the thought.

Romance and poetry, ivy, lichens and wallflowers need ruin to make them grow.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Unquestionably we do stand by ...

Unquestionably we do stand by our national flag as stoutly as any people in the world; and I myself have felt the heart-throb at sight of it, as sensibly as other men.

Sunlight is like the breath of life to the pomp of autumn.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Can man be so age-stricken tha...

Can man be so age-stricken that no faintest sunshine of his youth may re visit him once a year? It is impossible. The moss on our time-worn mansion brightens into beauty; and the good old pastor, who once dwelt here, renewed his prime and regained his boyhood in the genial breeze of his ninetieth spring. Alas for the worn and heavy soul, if, whether in youth or age, it has outlived its privilege of springtime sprightliness!

It is very singular how the fact of a man's death often seems to give people a truer idea of his character, whether for good or evil, than they have ever possessed while he was living and acting among them.
