“Each mind has its own method. A true man never acquires after college rules.”

“If with love thy heart has burned;If thy love is unreturned;Hide thy grief within thy breast,Though it tear thee unexpressed.”

“Do you guess I have some intricate purpose? Well I have, for the Fourth-month showers have, and the mica on the side of a rock has.”

“Nature is mythical and mystical always, and works with the license and extravagance of genius. She has her luxurious and florid style as well as art.”

“Tis the eternal law,That first in beauty should be first in might.”

“All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.”

“The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.”

“If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.”
