Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
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.
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
