The mountains were his masters...

The mountains were his masters. They rimmed in life. They were the cup of reality, beyond growth, beyond struggle and death. They were his absolute unity in the midst of eternal change.

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

[T]he essence of belief is dou...

[T]he essence of belief is doubt, the essence of reality is questioning. The essence of Time is Flow, not Fix. The essence of faith is the knowledge that all flows and that everything must change. The growing man is Man Alive, and his 'philosophy' must grow, must flow, with him. . . . the man too fixed today, unfixed tomorrow - and his body of beliefs is nothing but a series of fixations.

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

The human mind is a fearful in...

The human mind is a fearful instrument of adaptation, and in nothing is this more clearly shown than in its mysterious powers of resilience, self-protection, and self-healing. Unless an event completely shatters the order of one's life, the mind, if it has youth and health and time enough, accepts the inevitable and gets itself ready for the next happening like a grimly dutiful American tourist who, on arriving at a new town, looks around him, takes his bearings, and says, 'Well, where do I go from here?

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

But why had he always felt so ...

But why had he always felt so strongly the magnetic pull of home, why had he thought so much about it and remembered it with such blazing accuracy, if it did not matter, and if this little town, and the immortal hills around it, was not the only home he had on earth? He did not know. All that he knew was that the years flow by like water, and that one day men come home again.

Peace fell upon her spirit. Strong comfort and assurance bathed her whole being. Life was so solid and splendid, and so good.

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

Toil on, son, and do not lose ...

Toil on, son, and do not lose heart or hope. Let nothing you dismay. You are not utterly forsaken. I, too, am here--here in the darkness waiting, here attentive, here approving of your labor and your dream.

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

And who shall say--whatever di...

And who shall say--whatever disenchantment follows--that we ever forget magic; or that we can ever betray, on this leaden earth, the apple-tree, the singing, and the gold?

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

The thought of these vast stac...

The thought of these vast stacks of books would drive him mad: the more he read, the less he seemed to know Ђ' the greater the number of the books he read, the greater the immense uncountable number of those which he could never read would seem to be . The thought that other books were waiting for him tore at his heart forever.

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

Make your mistakes, take your chances, look silly, but keep on going. Don't freeze up.

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

All things belonging to the ea...

All things belonging to the earth will never change-the leaf, the blade, the flower, the wind that cries and sleeps and wakes again, the trees whose stiff arms clash and tremble in the dark, and the dust of lovers long since buried in the earth-all things proceeding from the earth to seasons, all things that lapse and change and come again upon the earth-these things will always be the same, for they come up from the earth that never changes, they go back into the earth that lasts forever. Only the earth endures, but i

In Sleep we lie all naked and ...

In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death.

If a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested

Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man.

One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years

The surest cure for vanity is loneliness

There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch. It is first of all a physical quality; then it is a quality of the spirit.

Thomas Wolfe 56 quotes

This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.

Death-the last voyage, the longest and the best.

The surest cure for vanity is loneliness.

The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.
