More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
So subtle is the atmosphere of opinion that it will make itself felt without words.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Of course, in a novel, people's hearts break, and they die and that is the end of it and in a story this is very convenient. But in real life we do not die when all that makes life bright dies to us.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The greater the interest involved in a truth the more careful, self-distrustful, and patient should be the inquiry.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Friends are discovered rather than made there are people who are in their own nature friends, only they don't know each other but certain things, like poetry, music, and paintings are like the Freemason's sign, they reveal the initiated to each other.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
By what strange law of mind is it that an idea long overlooked, and trodden under foot as a useless stone, suddenly sparkles out in new light, as a discovered diamond?
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Sublime is the dominion of the mind over the body, that, for a time, can make flesh and nerve impregnable, and string the sinews like steel, so that the weak become so mighty!

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Let us never doubt everything that ought to happen is going to happen.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Religion! Is what you hear at church religion? Is that which can bend and turn, and descend and ascend, to fit every crooked phase of selfish, worldly society, religion?
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Cause I's wicked, - I is. I's mighty wicked, anyhow, I can't help it.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
O, because I have had only that kind of benevolence which consists in lying on a sofa, and cursing the church and clergy for not being martyrs and confessors. One can see, you know, very easily, how others ought to be martyrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
...it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best regulated administration of slavery.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Money is a great help everywhere - can't have too much, if you get it honestly.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
God washes the eyes by tears unil they can behold the invisible land where tears shall come no more.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
What a fool is he who locks his door to keep out spirits, who has in his own bosom a spirit he dares not meet alone whose voice, smothered far down, and piled over with mountains of earthliness, is yet like the forewarning trumpet of doom!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
I would not attack the faith of a heathen without being sure I had a better one to put in its place.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
I 'spect I growed. Don't think nobody never made me.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
There is no phase of the Italian mind that has not found expression in its music.
