More quotes by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Come, therefore, and let us fling mud at them!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
His stories are good to hear at night, because we can dream about them asleep and good in the morning, too, because then we can dream about them awake. (Cowslip)
Nathaniel Hawthorne
And there I sat, long long ago, waiting for the world to know me.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
There is great incongruity in this idea of monuments, since those to whom they are usually dedicated need no such recognition to embalm their memory and any man who does, is not worthy of one.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The heart of true womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Thus we see, too, in the world that some persons assimilate only what is ugly and evil from the same moral circumstances which supply good and beautiful results--the fragrance of celestial flowers--to the daily life of others.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
It loves more readily than it hates.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
She could no longer borrow from the future to ease her present grief.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Echo is the voice of a reflection in a mirror.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Dream strange things and make them look like truth.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
What, in the name of common-sense, had I to do with any better society than I had always lived in?
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Unquestionably we do stand by our national flag as stoutly as any people in the world and I myself have felt the heart-throb at sight of it, as sensibly as other men.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
A bodily disease which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may after all, be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
A man's bewilderment is the measure of his wisdom.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect whether he chooses to be so or not.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nothing is more unaccountable than the spell that often lurks in a spoken word. A thought may be present to the mind, and two minds conscious of the same thought, but as long as it remains unspoken their familiar talk flows quietly over the hidden idea.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
