All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.
Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
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.
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
