Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
