George Santayana
The dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it.
George Santayana
All language is rhetorical, and even the senses are poets.
George Santayana
The body is an instrument, the mind its function, the witness and reward of its operation.
George Santayana
It is a new road to happiness, if you have strength enough to castigate a little the various impulses that sway you in turn.
George Santayana
