Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret.

Among true and real friends, all is common; and were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friend.

The more we study the more we discover our ignorance.

We live and move and think; but we are not the creators of our own origin and existence. We are not the arbiters of every motion of our own complicated nature; we are not the masters of our own imaginations and moods of mental being.

But I am chained to Time, and cannot thence depart!
