Insincerity in a man's own he...

Insincerity in a man's own heart must make all his enjoyments, all that concerns him, unreal; so that his whole life must seem like a merely dramatic representation.

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. We come to it freshly, in the dewy youth of the day, and when our spiritual and sensual elements are in better accord than at a later period; so that the material delights of the morning meal are capable of being fully enjoyed, without any very grievous reproaches, whether gastric or conscientious, for yielding even a trifle overmuch to the animal department of our nature.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Many writers lay very great s...

Many writers lay very great stress upon some definite moral purpose, at which they profess to aim their works.

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

Masculine observers, if the b...

Masculine observers, if the birth-mark did not heighten their admiration, contented themselves with wishing it away, that the world might possess one living specimen of ideal loveliness, without the semblance of a flaw.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

What a sweet reverence is tha...

What a sweet reverence is that when a young man deems his mistress a little more than mortal and almost chides himself for longing to bring her close to his heart.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

...Chillingworth was a striki...

...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 to the credit of human ...

It is to the credit of human nature that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

In all her intercourse with s...

In all her intercourse with society, however, there was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it... She stood apart from mortal interests, yet close beside them, like a ghost that revisits the familiar fireside, and can no longer make itself seen or felt.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

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

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

One picture in ten thousand, ...

One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the colors fade and blacken out of sight or the canvas rot entirely away.

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

We must not think too unkindl...

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

Can man be so age-stricken th...

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!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Language,-human language,-aft...

Language,-human language,-after all is but little better than the croak and cackle of fowls, and other utterances of brute nature,-sometimes not so adequate.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Truth often finds its way to ...

Truth often finds its way to the mind close muffled in robes of sleep, and then speaks with uncompromising directness of matters in regard to which we practise an unconscious self-deception during our waking moments.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

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

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

She poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Who can tell where happiness ...

Who can tell where happiness may come, or where, though an expected guest, it may never show its face?

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is no such thing in man...

There is no such thing in man's nature as a settled and full resolve either for good or evil, except at the very moment of execution.
