If cities were built by the sound of music, then some edifices would appear to be constructed by grave, solemn tones,--others to have danced forth to light fantastic airs.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

A man--poet, prophet, or whatever be may be--readily persuades himself of his right to all the worship that is voluntarily tendered.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

We are but shadows: we are, no...

We are but shadows: we are, not endowed with real life, and all that seems most real about us is but the thinnest substance of a dream,--till the heart be touched. That touch creates us--then we begin to be--thereby we are beings of reality and inheritors of eternity.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

A vast deal of human sympathy ...

A vast deal of human sympathy runs along the electric line of needlework, stretching from the throne to the wicker chair of the humble seamstress.

Nobody will use other people's...

Nobody will use other people's experience, nor have any of his own till it is too late to use it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Genius, indeed, melts many age...

Genius, indeed, melts many ages into one, and thus effects something permanent, yet still with a similarity of office to that of the more ephemeral writer. A work of genius is but the newspaper of a century, or perchance of a hundred centuries.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Great men need to be lifted up...

Great men need to be lifted upon the shoulders of the whole world, in order to conceive their great ideas or perform their great deeds. That is, there must be an atmosphere of greatness round about them. A hero cannot be a hero unless in an heroic world.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The greatest obstacle to being...

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The divine chemistry works in the subsoil.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

A long time ago, in a town wit...

A long time ago, in a town with which I used to be familiarly acquainted, there dwelt an elderly person of grim aspect, known by the name and title of Doctor Grimshawe, whose household consisted of a remarkably pretty and vivacious boy, and a perfect rosebud of a girl, two or three years younger than he, and an old maid of all work, of strangely mixed breed, crusty in temper and wonderfully sluttish in attire.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

In an ancient though not very ...

In an ancient though not very populous settlement, in a retired corner of one of the New England states, arise the walls of a seminary of learning, which, for the convenience of a name, shall be entitled 'Harley College.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It was a day in early spring; ...

It was a day in early spring; and as that sweet, genial time of year and atmosphere calls out tender greenness from the ground,--beautiful flowers, or leaves that look beautiful because so long unseen under the snow and decay,--so the pleasant air and warmth had called out three young people, who sat on a sunny hill-side enjoying the warm day and one another.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The evening before my departure for Blithedale, I was returning to my bachelor-apartments, after attending the wonderful exhibition of the Veiled Lady, when an elderly-man of rather shabby appearance met me in an obscure part of the street.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Those with whom we can apparently become well acquainted in a few moments are generally the most difficult to rightly know and to understand.

The Christian faith is a grand cathedral with divinely pictured windows.

Thus we see, too, in the world that some persons assimilate only what is ugly and evil from the same moral circumstances which supply good and beautiful results--the fragrance of celestial flowers--to the daily life of others.
