"The air came laden with the fragrance..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“He knew enough of the world to know that there is nothing in it better than the faithful service of the heart.”

“By the by, who ever knew a man who never read or wrote neither who hadn't got some small back parlour which he would call a study!”

“Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.”

“Things always work according to their nature.”

“I am looking forward enormously to getting back to the sea again, where the overstimulated psyche can recover in the presence of that infinite peace and spaciousness.”

“Have we even so much as discovered and settled the shores? Let a man travel on foot along the coastand tell me if it looks like a discovered and settled country, and not rather, for the most part, like a desolate island, and No-Man's Land.”

“Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind... The understanding can intuit nothing, the senses can think nothing. Only through their union can knowledge arise.”

“My will enkindled by mine eyes and ears, Two traded pilots 'twixt the dangerous shores Of will and judgment.”

“The senses interfere everywhere, and mix their own structure with all they report of.”
