Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
