Nathaniel Hawthorne
A man's bewilderment is the measure of his wisdom.
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
Moonlight is sculpture.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Every young sculptor seems to think that he must give the world some specimen of indecorous womanhood, and call it Eve, Venus, a Nymph, or any name that may apologize for a lack of decent clothing.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Labor is the curse of the world, and nobody can meddle with it without becoming proportionately brutalized.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The love of science to rival the love of woman, in its depth and absorbing energy.
