The wonder is what you can make a paradise out of.

The more words I have, the more distinct, precise my perceptions become--and such lucidity is a form of joy.

The authentic is almost never found by being pursued; but there is no missing it when you are in its presence.

The vision of an entire world becoming just like us is at least as discomfiting as the thought that most of it won't.

While we allow the inhabitants of imaginary remote corners the authenticity of savages or sufferers, we rarely suppose them to possess the authenticity of complex, sophisticated perceptions.

The worst losses come at night.

Why look any further if you've discovered complete satisfaction.
