«The man who does not betake himself at once and desperately to sawing is called a loafer, though he may be knocking at the doors of heaven all the while.»
«If the fairest features of the landscape are to be named after men, let them be the noblest and worthiest men alone.»
«The purity men love is like the mists which envelope the earth, and not like the azure ether beyond.»
«However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you.
