So far as a person thinks; they are free.

The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.

A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.

Poetry makes its own pertinence, and a single stanza outweighs a book of prose.

Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.

Life is a search after power; and this is an element with which the world is so saturated,-there is no chink or crevice in which it is not lodged,-that no honest seeking goes unrewarded.

Poetry being ... when we look from the center outward.
