Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
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.
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
