“Happiness does not lie in amusement; it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself.”

“A vivid image compels the whole body to follow.”

“It is the duty of the writer to describe.”

“If there is to be art, if there is to be any aesthetic doing and seeing, one physiological condition is indispensable: frenzy.”

“Translations increase the faults of a work and spoil its beauties.”

“For if one link in nature's chain might be lost, another might be lost, until the whole of things will vanish by piecemeal.”

“I with borrow'd silver shine,What you see is none of mine.First I show you but a quarter,Like the bow that guards the Tartar:Then the half, and then the whole,Ever dancing round the pole.”

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
