All our science calculates with abstracted individual external marks, which do not touch the inner existence of any single thing

Those that embrace the entire universe with love, for the most part love nothing, but their narrow selves.

The craving for a delicate fruit is pleasanter than the fruit itself.

A poet is the creator of the nation around him, he gives them a world to see and has their souls in his hand to lead them to that world.

Everyone loves his own country, customs, language, wife, children, not because they are the best in the world, but because they are his established property, and he loves in them himself, and the labor he has bestowed on them. The working of revolutions, therefore, misleads me no more; it is as necessary to our race as its waves to the stream, that it may not be a stagnant marsh. Ever renewed in its forms, the genius of humanity blossoms.
