Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.
All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
