What a happy and holy fashion...

What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow.

Come, therefore, and let us fling mud at them!

Honesty and wisdom are such a delightful pastime, at another person's expense!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The marble keeps merely a col...

The marble keeps merely a cold and sad memory of a man who would else be forgotten. No man who needs a monument ever ought to have one.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The calmer thought is not alw...

The calmer thought is not always the right thought, just as the distant view is not always the truest view

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is great incongruity in...

There is great incongruity in this idea of monuments, since those to whom they are usually dedicated need no such recognition to embalm their memory; and any man who does, is not worthy of one.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Though we speak nonsense, God...

Though we speak nonsense, God will pick out the meaning of it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is evil in every human ...

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

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

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The washing of dishes does se...

The washing of dishes does seem to me the most absurd and unsatisfactory business that I ever undertook. If, when once washed, they would remain clean for ever and ever (which they ought in all reason to do, considering how much trouble it is), there would be less occasion to grumble; but no sooner is it done, than it requires to be done again. On the whole, I have come to the resolution not to use more than one dish at each meal.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

To the untrue man, the whole ...

To the untrue man, the whole universe is false- it is impalpable- it shrinks to nothing within his grasp. And he himself is in so far as he shows himself in a false light, becomes a shadow, or, indeed, ceases to exist.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is so much wretchedness...

There is so much wretchedness in the world, that we may safely take the word of any mortal professing to need our assistance; and, even should we be deceived, still the good to ourselves resulting from a kind act is worth more than the trifle by which we purchase it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

I have laughed, in bitterness...

I have laughed, in bitterness and agony of heart, at the contrast between what I seem and what I am!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is an alchemy of quiet ...

There is an alchemy of quiet malice by which women can concoct a subtle poison from ordinary trifles.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Eager souls, mystics and revo...

Eager souls, mystics and revolutionaries, may propose to refashion the world in accordance with their dreams; but evil remains, and so long as it lurks in the secret places of the heart, utopia is only the shadow of a dream

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

If mankind were all intellect...

If mankind were all intellect, they would be continually changing, so that one age would be entirely unlike another. The great conservative is the heart, which remains the same in all ages; so that commonplaces of a thousand years' standing are as effective as ever.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Life, within doors, has few p...

Life, within doors, has few pleasanter prospects than a neatly-arranged and well-provisioned breakfast-table.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

I want nothing to do with pol...

I want nothing to do with politicians. Their hearts wither away, and die out of their bodies. Their consciences are turned to india-rubber, or to some substance as black as that, and which will stretch as much.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

A singular fact, that, when man is a brute, he is the most sensual and loathsome of all brutes.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Cupid in these latter times has probably laid aside his bow and arrow, and uses fire-arms -- a pistol -- perhaps a revolver.
