More quotes by Eliza Farnham
The human face is the organic seat of beauty.... It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.
Eliza Farnham
The ultimate aim of the human mind, in all its efforts, is to become acquainted with Truth.
Eliza Farnham
