Death is so genuine a fact tha...

Death is so genuine a fact that it excludes falsehoods, or betrays its emptiness; it is a touchstone that proves the gold, and dishonors the baser metal.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Death possesses a good deal, o...

Death possesses a good deal, of real estate, namely, the graveyard in every town.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

If human love hath power to pe...

If human love hath power to penetrate the veil--and hath it not?--then there are yet living here a few who have the blessedness of knowing that an angel loves them.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It is not strange that that ea...

It is not strange that that early love of the heart should come back, as it so often does when the dim eye is brightening with its last light. It is not strange that the freshest fountains the heart has ever known in its wastes should bubble up anew when the lifeblood is growing stagnant. It is not strange that a bright memory should come to a dying old man, as the sunshine breaks across the hills at the close of a stormy day; nor that in the light of that ray, the very clouds that made the day dark should grow gloriou

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is evil in every human heart, which may remain latent, perhaps, through the whole of life; but circumstances may rouse it to activity.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

If we take the freedom to put ...

If we take the freedom to put a friend under our microscope, we thereby insulate him from many of his true relations, magnify his peculiarities, inevitably tear him into parts, and, of course, patch him very clumsily together again. What wonder, then, should we be frightened by the aspect of a monster.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is something more awful ...

There is something more awful in happiness than in sorrow--the latter being earthly and finite, the former composed of the substance and texture of eternity, so that spirits still embodied may well tremble at it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Keep the imagination sane--tha...

Keep the imagination sane--that is one of the truest conditions of communion with heaven.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The breath of peace was fannin...

The breath of peace was fanning her glorious brow, her head was bowed a very little forward, and a tress, escaping from its bonds, fell by the side of her pure white temple, and close to her just opened lips; it hung there motionless! no breath disturbed its repose! She slept as an angel might sleep, having accomplished the mission of her God.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Women are safer in perilous si...

Women are safer in perilous situations and emergencies than men, and might be still more so if they trusted themselves more confidingly to the chivalry of manhood.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Ugliness without tact is horrible.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Most people are so constituted...

Most people are so constituted that they can only be virtuous in a certain routine; an irregular course of life demoralizes them.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

We must not think too unkindly...

We must not think too unkindly even of the east wind. It is not, perhaps, a wind to be loved, even in its benignest moods; but there are seasons when I delight to feel its breath upon my cheek, though it be never advisable to throw open my bosom and take it into my heart, as I would its gentle sisters of the south and west.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The heart of true womanhood kn...

The heart of true womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

At almost every step in life w...

At almost every step in life we meet with young men from whom we anticipate wonderful things, but of whom, after careful inquiry, we never hear another word. Life certain chintzes, calicoes, and ginghams, they show finely on their first newness, but cannot stand the sun and rain, and assume a very sober aspect after washing day.

To do nothing is the way to be nothing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Earth has one angel less and heaven one more, since yesterday.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It is a good lesson - though it may often be a hard one - for a man... to step aside out of the narrow circle in which his claims are recognized, and to find how utterly devoid of significance, beyond that circle, is all that he achieves, and all he aims at.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

His stories are good to hear at night, because we can dream about them asleep; and good in the morning, too, because then we can dream about them awake. (Cowslip)

What is the voice of song when the world lacks the ear of taste?
